Warrant Types in Andrew County Missouri

Andrew County law enforcement and courts issue several kinds of warrants. Each type serves a different purpose.

Arrest warrants start with a complaint. A police officer or prosecutor brings evidence to a judge showing probable cause that a crime was committed. Under RSMo 542.060, the judge reviews the complaint and signs the warrant if the facts support it. The Andrew County Sheriff then finds and arrests the person named on the warrant. These are the most serious type and typically involve felony charges.

Bench warrants come straight from a judge. They are used when a person does not follow a court order. Missing a hearing is the most common reason. Judges in Andrew County also issue bench warrants for failing to pay fines or violating probation terms. Capias warrants, covered under RSMo 543.240, are similar and tied to grand jury proceedings.

Search warrants let officers look through a specific location for evidence of a crime. Once served and returned to the court, they become part of the Andrew County court record. The public can view them after the case moves forward.

Note: All active warrants in Andrew County show up in the Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System used by all state agencies.
