Who Issues Warrants in Corson County
In South Dakota an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Corson County that means the Circuit Court for Corson County, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate and juvenile case, with magistrate judges taking misdemeanors, traffic and small claims.
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 Courts.
