Who Issues Warrants in Tyrrell County
In North Carolina an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Tyrrell County that means the Tyrrell County Superior Court, which hears felonies and civil cases over $25,000; the District Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, divorces, child custody, small claims and civil cases up to $25,000, issues its own warrants on the cases before it.
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 Superior Court.
