Generally, a bench warrant is a process initiated by a court in order to arrest a person. They are different from regular warrants in that they can be issued directly to the police in non-criminal cases.
When a bench warrant is used to compel you to appear in court you should follow the order in the warrant. A bench warrant can be issued for some behavior that takes place in the courtroom such as disruptive behavior or disrespect toward the judge. It can be issued for failure to report for jury duty, failure to appear in court when you have been summoned to appear or failure to make child support payments.
Most bench warrant arrests are made when the person is stopped by police for some other reason such as a traffic violation. If you are arrested on a bench warrant or you know one has been issued against you you will need to hire an attorney to represent you in the situation.
