A bench warrant is generally a warrant for the arrest of someone who has failed to appear in court as ordered. It's called that because it is issued from "the bench," the place where the judge sits in the courtroom.

∙ 12y agoIt's a warrant issued by the Judge because you failed to appear in court on your promised date. If law enforcement runs your ID or name for any reason, that warrant will appear and they will arrest you on site and take you to jail. You need to go to the court that issued the warrant and see a judge to get it quashed. If you don't have a decent reason why you missed your scheduled appearance you need to bring bond, or they're going to hold you in custody until your next date. If you show up yourself in a tie it's extremely unlikely they will make you pay bond or hold you in custody if it's simple criminal violations. But if you get arrested, expect to wait in jail.
