Are you facing criminal charges in Maryland, but ignored them and skipped your court date? If so, you will face much more severe penalties for blowing it off once you end up in front of a judge, and you most likely will at some point.
In these situations, you can have a bench warrant issued for your arrest. Should you show up to court when you are supposed to, get sentenced, and then neglect to carry out all legal obligations related to your arrest, you will have a bench warrant, also known as a capias, issued for your arrest. Once the bench warrant is issued, if you have any interaction with police, you will be arrested.
Being arrested in a scenario like this can cause you a significant amount of aggravation. If you have a bench warrant out for your arrest, you should begin resolving the issue by consulting with a Maryland criminal defense attorney helping MD residents resolve bench warrants.
