Expiration; reissuance
Sec. 4. A warrant of arrest for a misdemeanor expires one hundred
eighty (180) days after it is issued. A warrant of arrest for a felony
and a rearrest warrant for any offense do not expire. A sheriff who
has an expired warrant shall make a return on the warrant stating that
it has expired and shall return it to the clerk of the court that issued
it. The clerk shall enter the fact that the warrant has expired in his
records and shall notify the prosecuting attorney of the county that
the warrant has expired. Upon request of the prosecuting attorney,
the court shall issue another warrant.
