Bench Warrants
What is a Bench Warrant?
A bench warrant is an order that is issued by the court or a judge and it is similar to an arrest warrant. The purpose of issuing a bench warrant is to arrest and detain a person who has failed to appear in court for a pending action. Once a bench warrant is issued for a person, law enforcement has the right to immediately arrest the person when he/she is located. Bench warrants are usually issued when a person fails to appear in court for a civil or criminal proceeding. When a person is arrested on a bench warrant, he/she is usually held in jail until bail can be posted.
