That is determined by the judge and the laws of the state in which the offense occurred. Contributing factors for sentencing might be, the age of the accused, the criminal charge, whether or not the individual has a prior criminal history.
A sheriff's return on a bench warrant means that a return notice has been filed stating that a warrant was served. It also means that if the person is in jail at the time the warrant is served when they are released, they are to be transferred to the jail in the jurisdiction where the warrant was issued.
Depends on what the warrant is for
sure you can, in fact you will probably get to spend even more time if you let them know at the prison you have a bench warrant
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.
I presume you mean a bench warrant, not a beach warrant. You can remain in jail either until a new bail is set and is posted, or until the case is resolved.
A "bench warrant" is a warrant issued by a judge on his sole authority. Only the judge who issued the warrant can vacate the warrant. If he had to issue one to get you to court to testify, you probably won't be released until after your necessity in the court action is ended.
If a bench warrant is issued for you, you will be arrested immediately upon being located by the sheriff or police. If it is a 'normal' bench warrant you will be transported to jail and held for court the next day. If it is a "forthwith" order, you will immediately be transported directly to court and presented to the judge.
You're taking your chances. If the bench warrant has been entered into the NCIC computer and if the jail routinely checks the names of those visiting inmates through their database .... you do the math.
I have a judgment against someone in Small Claims Court in Mich and a Bench Warrant was put out for him because he didn't show up for a Show Cause hearing. I was told the Bench Warrant was good for a year.
The court has many options. They can include a bench warrant with jail time or a fine.
they can issue a bench warrant for your arrest and put you in jail for stolen property
Yes, that's called a Motion to Recall Warrant. If the defendant can convince the judge that he shouldn't be put in jail for not appearing (miscommunication, accident, hospitalization, etc.), the judge can recall the warrant and the defendan can continue the case. But if the reason is not convincing the Deft. can be put in jail.
