Who Issues Warrants in Uintah County
In Utah an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Uintah County that means the District Court for Uintah County, which hears felonies, civil cases, divorces, probate and class A misdemeanors; the Justice Courts, which take traffic tickets, class B and C misdemeanors and small claims, issue their own warrants on the cases before them.
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 court.
