What if your in jail in one county and another county issued a bench warrant what happens when you get out of jail?
When you have served your period of incarceration in the first county, before they release you they should check to see if there are any other "criminal holds" on you. When they find the bench warrant they will hold you for the other county to come get you and return you to the court that issued the bench warrant.

What website can you go to to see when a inmate is released from jail?
Normally, county jails do not have that type of information on their website. This is because most inmates in the county jail are pretrial inmates. The only way to find out what date an inmate will be released from the county jail is to call the County jail and find out.

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.

How late? In addition to the possibility of a severe tongue-lashing from the judge you could be held in contempt of court. If you are too late, the judge may assume that you skipped, and have already issued a bench warrant for your arrest.
Would an attorney help me not be arrested if I was issued a bench warrant for a misdemeanor Do I take care of bench warrant at courthouse or police station?
Your attorney could arrange for you to come in an voluntarily meet with the judge. However, if you encounter law enforcement before that time they'd be required to bring you to the judge on the basis of confirming the bench warrant. The bench warrant is likely for failure to appear, so if your attorney contacts the court to make an appearance with you they may be able to get the warrant set aside. If you know what court the warrant is out of you may be able to contact the clerk of that court and see if there is a bond you could pay to get the warrant set aside until a new court date could be set. Just some ideas. No idea what state, county, or municipality you are in and that absolutely makes a difference in how they do their business. (But your attorney will know). BTW, I am almost positive that no matter where you live, the police station is not the place to take care of it unless you just want to turn yourself in and be booked into jail and see the judge that way.

All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition..
What is a bench warrant?
Usually, a Bench Warrant is issued by the judge in the proceeding that you did not show up for. These can be for any court proceeding that you should have been in attendance. More generally speaking, a judge can issue a bench warrant for anybody, and for any reason, although their proceedings are subject to reveiw by higher courts and higher judges. The "to hold" is, I don't think the right terminology. because if you are picked-up on a bench warrant, you will see the judge before you get out.
