Who Issues Warrants in Tucker County
In West Virginia an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Tucker County that means the Tucker County Circuit Court, which hears felonies, the larger civil cases and juvenile matters; the Magistrate Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases and civil cases up to $10,000, issues its own warrants on the cases before it. 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 Circuit Clerk.

How to Check for a Warrant in Tucker County
Whether a warrant is out from Tucker County shows in two places:
- The court file of the case, through the Circuit Clerk at 304-478-2606, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The Prosecuting Attorney, phone 304-478-3674, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Tucker County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's and the prosecutor's) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
The statewide criminal history kept by the West Virginia State Police is not open to the public in West Virginia, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from Tucker County
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Tucker County that means appearing before the Tucker County Circuit Court or the Magistrate Court, with the case put back on the calendar through the Circuit Clerk.
