WHAT CAN I DO IF I HAVE AN ARREST WARRANT?
An Arrest Warrant is an order given to the police, demanding the arrest and detention of a person. These warrants typically will be issued where there is suspicion of criminal activity. For example, when law enforcement reasonably suspects criminal activity has occurred, the police or sheriff will obtain a sworn statement from the alleged victim, present it to a judge who will sign an order for the arrest of that person. The State Attorney or law enforcement can also sign a sworn statement to obtain an arrest warrant. Another example of when an arrest warrant is issued is after a Grand Jury indictment. In most cases, however, you would not first become aware that an arrest warrant exists until the police make the arrest.
The arrest warrant can be served at one's place of business or home, making it an otherwise embarrassing and highly inconvenient situation. When the police or sheriff execute the arrest warrant, they handcuff the person and take them to jail. Thereafter, those arrested without a bond are taken to court.
If you become aware there is an outstanding arrest warrant, you should contact Anabelle Dias & Associates, P.A. at (850)422-3427 immediately because you are at risk of being arrested any time.
