Who Issues Warrants in Arthur County
In Nebraska an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Arthur County that means the Arthur County District Court, which hears felonies, the larger civil cases and divorces; the County Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, probate, small claims and juvenile matters, 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 the District Court.
