Who Issues Warrants in Boyd County
In Nebraska an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Boyd County that means the Boyd 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.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at nebraskajudicial.gov/courts/boyd-county-court (page title: Boyd County Court | Nebraska Judicial Branch), phone 402-360-0814, 401 Thayer Street P O Box 396 Butte NE 68722, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 8:00 am - 4:00 pm, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
