A Nebraska Bench Warrant is a court order issued by a judge in the state of Nebraska that authorizes law enforcement to arrest an individual. This warrant is usually issued when an individual has failed to appear for a court date or has failed to comply with a court order. There are two types of Nebraska Bench Warrants: criminal and civil. Criminal bench warrants are issued when an individual has failed to appear for a criminal trial or to comply with the terms of a criminal sentence. Civil bench warrants are issued when an individual has failed to appear for a civil trial or to comply with the terms of a civil judgement. Both types of warrants are enforceable throughout the state of Nebraska and can result in arrest and incarceration.
