A bench warrant is an order to immediately take the named individual into custody and deliver them directly to court.
The SO will make an immediate attempt to serve the warrant at the individuals residence, place of work, or known 'hangouts.' If unsuccessful, they will keep up in the attempt and retain the warrant in file. If the judge orders it, they will enter it into the statewide and interstate criminal computer network (NCIC) with an extradition request.
Bench warrants don't expire and there is no SOL attached to them.
