Bradley County Warrant Records Check

Bradley County warrant records sit with the Sheriff's Office in Warren and with the Circuit Clerk at the county courthouse. The sheriff office does not run a public online warrant search. All warrant checks go through the phone or the front desk. The Circuit Clerk keeps the court file, and the statewide case search covers the online side. This page walks through the phone numbers, the addresses, and the rules that apply to a Bradley County warrant record request.

Bradley County Sheriff Warrant Records

The Bradley County Sheriff is based at 101 East 1st Street in Warren, with the Sheriff's administrative office at 101 East Cedar, Suite 108. Sheriff Herschel Tillman leads the office. Phone: (870) 226-3491. Fax: (870) 226-5635. Email: bradleycountyso@yahoo.com. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

The Arkansas Sheriffs' Association page for Bradley County is the main online reference, since the Sheriff's Office does not run its own dedicated website. Warrant verification runs through the phone or the front desk at 101 E 1st St in Warren.

The Bradley County Sheriff serves a dual role as tax collector and law enforcement officer. During peak tax periods, warrant inquiries can take longer. Staff can confirm whether a warrant is active, read back the case number, and direct you to the clerk for a full copy.

Note: A written request at the sheriff office may use Form BCSO-WR1 for a formal warrant inquiry. The form is available at the front desk.

Bradley County Circuit Clerk

The Bradley County Circuit Court Clerk is at 101 East Cedar Street in Warren. Phone: (870) 226-3491. The clerk also has a direct line at (870) 226-2272. Email: clerk@bradleycounty.org. Hours are 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. The clerk is the official keeper of every warrant record issued by the Circuit Court, and also handles civil, domestic, and juvenile cases.

A public access terminal at the courthouse lets a visitor search the court docket by name. Plain copies run a few cents per page. Certified copies cost more under the standard Arkansas fee schedule. For an older case, a direct call to the clerk is often faster than an online search.

Bradley County District Court

The Bradley County District Court handles misdemeanors and traffic cases. Phone: (870) 226-2567. Address: 101 East Cedar, Warren, AR 71671. The district court issues bench warrants for failure to appear and for failure to pay fines. A call to the district court often turns up a warrant that is not yet in the statewide case search.

Online Bradley County Warrant Lookup

Since the sheriff does not run a public warrant database, the Arkansas Judiciary Case Search is the main online window into Bradley County warrant data. Pick the 10th Judicial Circuit and search by party name. The docket entries show warrant events, hearing dates, and case status. The direct CourtConnect URL pulls from the same data.

The case search is free for basic queries. Copies and certified documents carry a fee paid to the court. For help with the system call the Administrative Office of the Courts at (501) 410-1900 option 1, or toll free at (866) 823-5778.

Warrant Types and Rule 7.2

Bradley County warrant records fall into standard Arkansas types.

• Arrest warrants under Rule 7.1
• Bench warrants under Rule 9.1
• Search warrants under Rule 13.1
• Civil warrants for contempt
• Child support warrants under Arkansas Code § 9-14-239

Rule 7.2 of the Arkansas Rules of Criminal Procedure sets out what a warrant must contain. The full legal name and aliases, the date of birth or age, the offense and statutory cite, the issuing court, the case number, the bond amount when set, and the signing judge. Every Bradley County warrant follows that format. The signing officer is usually a Circuit Court judge for felony matters and a District Court judge for misdemeanors.

Note: Bradley County has about 10,500 residents spread across 652 square miles, so warrant service often takes longer than in more urban counties.

FOIA Rules and Public Access

Warrants in Bradley County are public records under the Arkansas FOIA at Arkansas Code § 25-19-101 et seq. A citizen can ask for a warrant record during regular business hours. The first hour of search time is free, and copies run a few cents per page at the clerk. The Arkansas Attorney General runs a FOIA hotline at 1-800-482-8982 for help with a stalled request.

Staff will ask for a photo ID before they release warrant status against a named person, per Arkansas Code § 12-12-1008. That rule is statewide, not local to Bradley County. Juvenile records, grand jury material, and open investigation files stay off the public list.

State Police and Background Checks

For a full criminal history check that may include warrant data, the Arkansas State Police Identification Bureau runs the state-level tool. The fee is $25 by mail. A volunteer check for a non-profit costs $11 under the Criminal History for Volunteers Act. The fingerprint rule sits in Arkansas Code § 12-12-211. The Arkansas Crime Information Center is the central index for law enforcement use.

The Arkansas Absconder Search lists people off probation or parole, most with a live warrant. The Arkansas Department of Corrections inmate search tells you if a person is now in state custody. Together the tools cover the full warrant lifecycle.

Bradley County Warrant Service Tips

A Bradley County warrant is served by a sworn deputy or by an assisting officer from Warren Police. Service outside the county limits may need a hand-off to the sheriff in that next county. The sheriff will often pair warrant service with a tax collection route, since the office runs both jobs. A known address, a known job, and a known vehicle are the three things the office checks first.

Bond amounts on a Bradley County warrant follow the bond schedule set by the 10th Judicial Circuit. A Class D felony often carries a bond between $2,500 and $7,500. A Class B or C felony can run much higher. A failure to appear warrant often doubles the prior bond. The signing judge can set a cash-only hold under Rule 9.2 of the Arkansas Rules of Criminal Procedure. A bail bond firm can post at the sheriff front desk during business hours.

Note: A Bradley County warrant does not time out on its own. Only the issuing judge can recall or quash a warrant.

Bradley County Records and Corrections

The Bradley County Jail intakes people on served warrants during business hours. Booking covers a photo, a fingerprint set, and a booking sheet. The jail is small, and many holds move quickly to the regional unit. For a person now in state custody, the ADC inmate search is the right tool. The Arkansas Courts Public Information portal covers the appellate docket and any ruling that shapes Bradley County warrant practice.

Bradley County does not have a city above the 100,000 population threshold. Warren is the county seat and the largest city in the county. Warren Police handles city warrants out of the local district court. Hermitage and Banks are smaller towns served by the sheriff for most criminal matters. The Circuit Court in Warren handles felony warrants for the full county.
