There are two types of warrants that may be issued by the Court:

• VPTA - Violation of Promise to Appear - Issued to individuals who fail to appear to answer to Class C Misdemeanor charges.
• Capias Profine - Issued to individuals who have failed to honor their payout agreements.

In most cases, when a warrant for arrest is necessary, a notice may be sent to you at the address shown on your citation.  This notice outlines the violations charged against you and fines associated with them.

A warrant for your arrest can be issued when you:

• Do not respond to your citation within 10 days
• Do not appear for your court date
• Do not pay the fine assessed by the Judge
• Do not complete the Driving Safety Course requirements and do not appear to show cause
• Do not comply with the terms of your probation and the probation is revoked
• Default on payment arrangements
• Fail to comply with a community service order

If it is necessary to issue an arrest warrant, you will be assessed additional fees in addition to a $50.00 warrant fee.
