If a person fails to appear in court then a judge will issue a bench warrant in his or her name. A bench warrant is a court-issued document that is used to bring people into court who have failed to appear and handle their pending legal actions. Once a bench warrant has been issued in your name, police officers have the right to arrest and detain you on the spot. There are a variety of actions in which a bench warrant may be issued, such as:

• Failure to pay a fine, citation, or court fee
• Failure to appear in court at a scheduled date
• Failure to show proof of progress or completion of a court order
• Failure to appear after being release from custody

In addition to getting arrested and put in jail, there are a number of legal consequences you will face either before or after a bench warrant has been issued. These penalties include the suspension of your driver’s license, probation, increased fines, or denial of bail for future offenses.
