Greene County, Georgia arrest warrants are issued after the tribunal deliberates on the affidavit submitted by the local sheriff’s department’s court services division. This affidavit is prepared based on the report filed by the officers who investigated the matter. This petition, in turn, forms the foundation of the police case in the warrant hearing.

The active arrest warrant is issued based on the information presented in this writ. Suppose the details are found to be inadequate for the establishment of probable cause. In that case, the sitting magistrate reserves the right to call in all or some witnesses and even the victim, if available, to offer their testimony under oath.

Upon issue, the warrant is handed over to the police for execution. If for any reason an arrest cannot be made immediately, the order is saved in the criminal database, and it is then called an outstanding warrant from Greene County, GA. Regardless of how old a warrant is, it can still be used to arrest the person in whose name it was issued. In fact, in the case of felonies, the detention can even occur outside the issuing county.

Arrest records from Greene County, Georgia, are maintained by the sheriff’s office and the magistrate’s court.
