Types of Faulkner County Warrants

Faulkner County warrant records cover the full range of warrant types used in Arkansas courts.

• Arrest warrants for new felony and misdemeanor charges
• Bench warrants for failure to appear or failure to comply
• Capias warrants after an indictment or information
• Search warrants for property or vehicle searches
• Alias warrants and writs for a named subject already on file
• Child support warrants under Arkansas Code § 9-14-239

Bench warrants stack up the fastest at most clerks, and Faulkner County is no different. A missed court date can trigger a bench warrant within a few weeks. Clearing it usually means a new appearance and a review hearing. Arkansas Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 7.2 sets the content of every warrant. Faulkner County judges follow that rule when signing a pickup order.

The Arkansas Attorney General operates a FOIA hotline at 1-800-482-8982 for questions about access, fees, and agency response time. Agencies have three working days to respond to a request.

A written FOIA request to the Sheriff or the clerk should list the subject's name, the approximate date of issue, and the court when known. Open investigations, grand jury material, and juvenile cases stay closed. The rest of the file is open. Copy fees and certified copy fees are set by the Faulkner County Circuit Clerk.

Note: Under Arkansas Code § 25-19-105(d)(2)(A), the first hour of search time on a FOIA request is free, and copy fees run a few cents per page at most Arkansas clerks.
