What is a Bench Warrant?

A bench warrant is issued in matters pertaining to an action that is in contempt of court. This may result from unpaid traffic tickets, a failure to appear in court, failure to pay a court-ordered fine, or failure to attend mandated counseling or rehabilitation. At times, a person may be unaware that a bench warrant has been issued for their arrest until they are being taken into custody. In this way, a routine traffic stop can turn into time in county jail.

The purpose of a bench warrant is to secure an individual and return him or her to the court. The warrant authorizes the immediate arrest of the individual named, regardless of where he or she is or what he or she is doing.
