Why is there a Warrant for my Arrest in New Jersey?

There are two impetuses for the issuing of an arrest warrant, both of which involve the signing of a criminal complaint against a defendant. A criminal complaint can be signed by a law enforcement officer or, in a situation known as a civilian complaint, another citizen signs a complaint against a defendant. In the case of a civilian complaint, a judge must determine that there is probable cause for the issuance of such a complaint. Regardless of the initial avenue pursued to obtain a complaint, the sequence of events that follows is essentially identical, as the defendant is arrested, formally charged, and processed.

Processing occurs at the police station in the municipality in which the charges have been filed and involves personal documentation, fingerprinting, and obtaining a photograph, commonly referred to as a “mugshot.” Bail conditions are then determined, or the defendant is released on his or her own recognizance, depending on the circumstances of the specific case and the seriousness of the charges. If a defendant is released on his or her own recognizance, or gets out on bail, is subsequently released, and fails to appear on the scheduled court date, a bench warrant will be issued for his or her arrest.

Reasons for Bench Warrants in NJ

A judge can issue a bench warrant for a number of reasons, all of which involve the defendant’s failure to comply with some obligation set forth by the court. Listed below are some of the justifications for the issuance of a bench warrant, the most common of which is a defendant’s failure to appear at a scheduled court hearing.

  • Failure to pay an outstanding fine or comply with another court-imposed penalty
  • Failure to pay child support
