Failure to appear is a legal term used to describe when an offender fails to make a court appearance at a set date and time. If a person does not show up in court for an arraignment, criminal proceedings, or criminal sentencing, he/she can have a bench warrant issued in his/her name for failing to appear. A bench warrant can lead to the person’s immediate arrest and the person’s failure to appear can negatively impact his/her criminal sentence if convicted. There are many reasons as to why a person may fail to appear in court. Regardless of the reason, failure to appear is considered very risky for the person’s criminal case. For this reason, people who have failed to appear in court need the legal expertise of an effective criminal defense attorney.
Bench Warrant for Failure to Appear
If a person fails to appear in court, a bench warrant may be issued in their name. A bench warrant is a court order that is issued for a defendant’s arrest after he/she fails to appear in court for a proceeding or arraignment. A bench warrant may be issued by bench officers of the state of California or the federal government. Once a bench warrant is issued for a person, law enforcement agencies can execute the court order. If that person is found by law enforcement, he/she can be placed under immediate arrest. A bench warrant can be issued if:
- a person fails to appear in court for an arraignment
- a person fails to appear in court after being issued a citation
- a person fails to appear in court for criminal sentencing
- a person fails to pay a fine
