Who Issues Warrants in Park County
In Montana an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Park County that means the Park County District Court, which hears felonies, civil cases, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the Justice Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases and small claims, issues its own warrants on the cases before it. A city with a city and 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 Clerk of District Court.
