How to Clear a Boone County Bench Warrant

Bench warrants in Arkansas do not expire. An open Boone County bench warrant stays active until the court recalls it or the person is served. The best first step is to talk to a defense attorney who knows the 14th Judicial Circuit. A motion to quash or a motion to set bond can clear the path to a new court date before an arrest.

Attorneys can file through Arkansas eFlex. Self-represented parties can register and file too. Common filings include a motion to recall the bench warrant, a motion to set bond, and a request for a new hearing. The judge may recall the warrant on a showing of good cause. Under Ark. Code Ann. § 5-54-120, failure to appear can be a separate charge.

Voluntary surrender is another path. You can turn yourself in at the Detention Center. A voluntary appearance often helps at the bond hearing. Still, talk to a lawyer first.

If the warrant was issued by mistake, the Clerk can often fix it the same day. Mistakes happen when a notice goes to the wrong address or a reset does not get logged in time. Bring proof to the Clerk.
