Who Issues Warrants in Craig County
In Oklahoma an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Craig County that means the Craig County District Court, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate and juvenile case. 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 Court Clerk.
Statewide, OSCN and ODCR are the free online dockets of every Oklahoma district court.

Not one of the Craig County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's and the records request page) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
Clearing a Warrant from Craig County
