A Hawaii Bench Warrant is an order issued by a judge in the state of Hawaii that mandates the arrest of a person. Bench warrants are issued when a person has failed to appear in court or has failed to comply with a court order, such as paying a fine or following the terms of probation. Hawaii Bench Warrants can be issued for both criminal and civil cases. Common types of Hawaii Bench Warrants include Failure to Appear (FTA) Warrants, Contempt of Court Warrants, and Probation Violation Warrants. If a person is arrested on a Hawaii Bench Warrant, they will be brought before a judge who will decide the next steps in the case.
