How to Search Pulaski County Warrants
The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office runs the public warrant search through Zuercher Suite. The portal at pulaski-so-ar.zuercherportal.com/#/warrants accepts name, race, sex, date issued, date of birth, age range, bond amount, and charge as filters. The search button stays disabled until at least one Pulaski County criterion is entered. Results show name, race, sex, date issued, DOB or age, bond amount, charge, and a comments field when PCSO has enabled it.
The Pulaski County warrant interface uses the same Zuercher framework as the live inmate roster, with separate filter logic.
A clean Pulaski County warrant search uses the full legal name. Common Pulaski County surnames return many hits, so add a middle initial or a charge keyword. The date-issued filter can narrow recent Pulaski County warrants to the past week, month, or year. Results are pulled live from the PCSO Zuercher database, so the list updates as warrants are issued or cleared.

Types of Pulaski County Warrants

- Bench warrants - Issued by a Pulaski County judge for failure to appear, failure to comply, contempt, or probation violations.
- Search warrants - Authorize Pulaski County law enforcement to search a place or seize evidence; often sealed.
- Fugitive / out-of-county warrants - Used to hold someone in Pulaski County for another jurisdiction, with possible extradition.

- Civil writs - Pulaski County Sheriff judicial division serves civil papers, writs of possession, garnishment, and execution.
How to Resolve a Pulaski County Warrant
A Pulaski County warrant in the public list means the issuing court wants the named person to appear. Ignoring a warrant adds bond amounts and may bring new charges. The safe path is to confirm the warrant, identify the issuing court, and contact counsel.
- Confirm the warrant through the PCSO Zuercher search or by calling PCSO at 501-340-6963.
- Read the charge, bond amount, and case number if shown.
- Contact a private attorney or the Pulaski County Public Defender at 501-340-6120 if criminal charges are pending.
- For Pulaski County District Court warrants, call traffic 501-340-6832, criminal/hot checks 501-340-6845, small claims 501-340-6830, or special services 501-340-6836.
- For Pulaski Circuit Court warrants, contact the Court Clerks at 501-340-8431 and the Prosecuting Attorney at 501-340-8000.
- Ask whether bond can be posted, whether a walk-in docket exists, and whether personal appearance is required.
- After resolution, confirm with the Pulaski County court and PCSO that the warrant is cleared in both systems.
Note: The PCSO Pulaski County warrant list can lag behind the issuing court; always confirm in person or by phone before relying on a cleared status.
Pulaski County Warrant Search Limitations
The public Pulaski County warrant search has clear limits. Sealed search warrants are not visible. Juvenile warrants are restricted under Ark. Code § 9-27-309. Search warrants tied to ongoing investigations stay sealed until the investigation completes. Federal warrants are not in the PCSO list; federal cases run through PACER and the U.S. Marshals Service Eastern District of Arkansas. A Pulaski County resident with a federal warrant should consult federal counsel rather than rely on the county Zuercher portal.
Bond amount on a Pulaski County warrant is an amount associated with release or appearance. It does not mean a person can simply pay online. Bond payment, surrender, and release procedures depend on the issuing Pulaski County court and the type of warrant. Call the court or the PCSO detention facility at 501-340-7001 before traveling to surrender.
Pulaski County Bench Warrants and Failure to Appear
A Pulaski County bench warrant is one of the most common entries on the Zuercher warrant list. The Pulaski County judge issues a bench warrant after a defendant misses a court date, fails to comply with an order, or violates probation. Bench warrants tied to Pulaski County District Court traffic cases route through the Traffic Department at 501-340-6832. Bench warrants tied to misdemeanors route through Criminal/Hot Checks at 501-340-6845. Bench warrants from Pulaski Circuit Court route through the Court Clerks at 501-340-8431.
The fastest way to resolve a Pulaski County bench warrant is usually a walk-in appearance at the issuing court. The Pulaski County judge can quash the warrant on the record after the defendant appears, posts bond, or shows cause. A capias warrant follows the same workflow. Pulaski County District Court Special Services at 501-340-6836 also handles community service, jail commitments, and domestic violence class monitoring tied to bench-warrant compliance.
Pulaski County Sheriff Civil Process and Writs
The Pulaski County Sheriff's Judicial Division serves civil process across the county. The unit serves Pulaski County summonses, writs of possession, writs of execution, writs of garnishment, writs of assistance, and other court orders. These civil writs are different from criminal warrants. A Pulaski County writ does not put the named party in custody; it directs the Sheriff to seize property, deliver papers, or carry out a court order. The Clerk's Central fee schedule lists writs at $20 each. Pulaski County process servers must file an application, renewal, or affidavit with the Clerk to operate.
Pulaski County residents who have been served can confirm the case in Search ARCourts at caseinfo.arcourts.gov/opad. Failure to respond to a Pulaski County summons can lead to default judgment. Failure to comply with a writ of possession can lead to a bench warrant.
Pulaski County Warrant Legal Help
Pulaski County residents facing an active warrant should not rely on the public Zuercher portal alone. The Pulaski County Public Defender David Sudduth's office at 201 South Broadway, Suite 210, Little Rock, phone 501-340-6120, handles indigent criminal defense at the first appearance. Arkansas Law Help at arkansaslegal.org provides free legal information. The Pulaski County courthouse self-help kiosks installed in 2023 also link to legal aid applications. For a Pulaski County victim seeking custody notifications tied to a defendant on a warrant, Arkansas VINELink at vinelink.com is the right tool.
After a Pulaski County Warrant Is Cleared
Clearing a Pulaski County warrant is two steps. The court resolves the underlying case, and the Pulaski County Sheriff's record system updates the warrant status. Both must happen for a clean status. Pulaski County users should call PCSO at 501-340-6963 and the issuing court a few business days after the hearing or surrender to confirm both systems show the warrant cleared. The Pulaski County Court Liaison at the detention facility moves documents between the courts and the jail, so timing can vary.
