It is contempt of court. The judge can impose any penalty they feel like. In practice, this is 1-5 years.
The usual penalty is getting locked up - forthwith! The actual charge would probably be FTA (Failure To Appear).
fluffyness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Failure to Appear
no it's a mesdomenor
FTA stands for Failure To Appear on your court date for that charge.
If you simply blew-off the court date on your ticket, you will porobably be found guilty "en absentia" and you will be fined and assessed the points for this violation.If you disregarded a court subpoena to appear, a bench warrant could have been issued for your arrest.
A failure to appear stays active until you appear and resolve the underlying charge. Failing to appear is not a new charge, and therefore is not adjudicated or added to a criminal record. Instead, when you fail to appear, a bench warrant is issued, the current charge is put on hold, and in some cases, your bond is forfeited or your driver's license is suspended.
There is no general statute of limitations for failure to appear in court. However, there will be an active charge against you starting when you miss your court appearance.Ê

A f.t.a arraignment is another charge that stands for failure to appear in court
