bench warrant
A bench warrant is a legal document issued by a judge or court, often due to someone's failure to appear in court at a scheduled time, charging contempt or an indictment. This warrant allows law enforcement officers to locate, arrest, and bring the person directly to court. It can also be issued for other infractions such as failure to pay a fine or comply with a court order. Unlike regular arrest warrants, bench warrants are typically issued in the offender's absence.
Webster Dictionary
Bench warrant
a process issued by a presiding judge or by a court against a person guilty of some contempt, or indicted for some crime; -- so called in distinction from a justice's warrant
