Who Issues Warrants in Uinta County
In Wyoming an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Uinta County that means the District Court for Uinta County, which hears felonies, civil cases over $50,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the Circuit Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and civil cases up to $50,000, 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 Clerk of District Court.
Wyoming has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
