There are multiple types of warrants that can be issued for your arrest

Did you know there are many different types of warrants?

The type of warrant often hinges on the type of case for which it’s sought. For instance, for most misdemeanor offenses, police will release a person from the station and seek charges through a prosecutor’s office. When the prosecutor’s office authorizes most misdemeanor offenses, they will not typically not ask for a warrant but rather for notification through the court system for an Arraignment.

For most felony offense, the exact opposite is true: Prosecutors will request an arrest warrant upon authorization of charges, and the arrest warrant will almost always go directly into LEIN. This will allow police agencies to come out looking for the person, at home, at work or wherever. If there’s a valid arrest warrant, the police have unfettered right to execute that warrant how and when they see fit.

Each type of warrant demands the attention of criminal defense attorney with the experience to help you navigate your legal situation.
