A Kentucky Summons in a Criminal Case is a legal document issued by a court that requires the defendant to appear in court to answer a criminal charge. There are two types of Kentucky Summons in a Criminal Case: (1) an arrest warrant, which orders the arrest of the defendant and requires them to appear before the court; and (2) a summons, which requires the defendant to appear in court but does not involve an arrest. Both types of Kentucky Summons in a Criminal Case are issued by a court after a criminal complaint has been filed, and they must be personally served on the defendant in order to be valid.
