Who Issues Warrants in Cameron County
In Pennsylvania an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Cameron County that means the Cameron County Court of Common Pleas, which hears felonies, civil cases, divorces, estates and juvenile matters; the Magisterial District Courts issue their own warrants on the cases before them.
A bench warrant follows a missed court date in any of those courts. Whichever kind it is, the warrant is part of the file of the case it was issued in, and the Prothonotary for civil cases and divorces and the Clerk of Courts for criminal cases keep that file.
