Who Issues Warrants in Itawamba County
In Mississippi an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Itawamba County that means the Itawamba County Circuit Court, which hears felonies and the larger civil cases; the Justice Court and County Court issue their own warrants on the cases before them. A city with a municipal court of its own issues warrants on the tickets and ordinance cases it tries.
When a defendant misses a court date the judge issues a bench warrant, and either kind of warrant lives in the court file of the case, kept by the Circuit Clerk for criminal and civil cases and the Chancery Clerk for divorces, estates and land records.
