Types of White County Warrants

White County warrants break down into a core set of types. Bench warrants top the list most weeks in Searcy. They come out when a defendant misses a court date or skips a court order. Arrest warrants on new felony or misdemeanor charges come out of the Circuit Court or a District Court after the prosecutor files a sworn affidavit.

A typical White County warrant file lists:

• Full legal name and aliases
• Date of birth and physical description
• Case number and issuing court
• Offense and statute cited
• Warrant type and issue date
• Bond amount when set
• Signing judge

Search warrants cover a set address or item and stay sealed while the search is active. Capias warrants pick up a defendant after an indictment. Alias warrants replace a lost or recalled warrant. Child support warrants run through the Office of Child Support Enforcement under Arkansas Code § 9-14-239. These warrants are civil in form but still carry arrest authority, and the White County Sheriff serves them like any arrest warrant.

Note: Some White County residents confuse the city of Searcy with Searcy County, but Searcy County sits further north and has its own seat in Marshall.

White County agencies may charge for copies and for search time past the first hour. A few items stay closed. Active investigation files, grand jury material, juvenile cases, and protected identity records all stay sealed. The rest sits open to any citizen during regular business hours. The FOIA response window is three business days when the record is on hand.
