In most states, that I'm aware, sheriff's departments keep the paper copy of the warrants on file, municipal (city) departments do not. In some larger counties, you can have more than 5 agencies, each having to rely upon the warrants division at the sheriff's office to get those warrants in hand (confirmed, as was mentioned in the video) in order to properly effect the arrest of an individual with warrants.If the police are going to execute, or this is the primary reason for going to pick up an individual, they need to have it.
Occurences that happen on the spot because of something else or some other crime or investigation, and then it shows up during the event, then having one in hand should not be necessary.
This individual was going to have his warrant served to him at the jail and be read an account of the charges against him.
