Arrest Warrant Versus Bench Warrant Definition

An arrest warrant is issued when a person is accused of having broken a law and it allows the police to arrest the suspect. An arrest warrant requires a signed and sworn affidavit showing probable cause.

A bench warrant also authorizes a police officer or sheriff to make an arrest, but it may or may not relate to a criminal charge. It can result from a violation of a court order. A bench warrant is issued by a judge for actions like:

Failing to appear in court/failure to respond to a court summons
Excessive traffic violations
Contempt of court
Failure to report for jury duty

If you are arrested under a bench warrant, you will be brought before the judge who issued the warrant.

Has a Bench Warrant Been Issued for Your Arrest?

If you know that you have unpaid tickets, don’t let it hang over your head. Work with a Utah criminal defense lawyer to get these matters resolved before a bench warrant is issued for your arrest. If you have already been arrested on a bench warrant, you have a right to a defense.
