Do You Have A Bench Warrant In Las Vegas, Nevada?

In Las Vegas a Bench Warrant is a variant of an arrest warrant, which authorizes the immediate on-sight arrest of an individual subject to the bench warrant. Typically, judges in Las Vegas issue bench warrants for persons deemed to be in contempt of court—possibly as a result of that person's failure to appear at the appointed time and date for a mandated court appearance. Bench warrants are issued in either criminal or civil court proceedings.
