- Ask for the current court contact.
- Confirm status and service instructions.

Centralized Marietta Court Contact
The 2025 state Judicial Directory lists a centralized Prentiss-area municipal court contact at 1901 East Chambers Drive in Booneville, 662-728-5961. Treat that number as a routing aid only. It cannot confirm current warrant status. Ask the town to verify the contact still takes Marietta matters.
Freshness check: A directory or grant document can identify a route without establishing today's office hours.
Marietta Marshal and Court Roles
The marshal serves town process. The municipal judge and clerk hold the court record, and only the court side can change it. County lower-court matters go to the Justice Court Clerk, and circuit process goes to the Circuit Clerk. A service contact cannot recall a warrant or reset the next date.

Marietta and County Offices
For a Marietta warrant question, call the office that owns the case. A county citation goes to Prentiss County Justice Court at 662-728-8696, and the town may send you there as well. Circuit process belongs to the Circuit Clerk at 662-728-4611. The sheriff's line, 662-728-6232, runs 24 hours and can route a warrant check, though it is not a Marietta search line itself.
After a Marietta Payment
Before paying, ask the controlling clerk three things: whether payment alone works, whether a judge must sign off, and whether marshal or police service is required. Keep your receipt. Ask for a new date or written status in return. A paid balance does not automatically recall the warrant.
Marietta Warrants Within Prentiss
Marietta sits in Prentiss County. Do not confuse it with the Town of Prentiss, which is in Jefferson Davis County. For county structure, the Prentiss County warrant records overview helps once you confirm your municipal matter moved beyond town court. Until then, the town comes first.
Public Access to Marietta Warrants
Marietta publishes no city roster, case search, or online payment-and-recall form. One court entry may still be released to you. Sealed, youth, and investigative files can stay closed. Ask the clerk, not a commercial site.
Final check: Verify the court update after bond, payment, service, or appearance and retain every official paper.
