Bench Warrant Penalties in Blaine

A bench warrant in Blaine does not expire. There is no time limit on it at all. Under Minnesota Rule 3.01, the court must issue a warrant when someone fails to appear after a summons. Once it is in the system, it stays there until you are arrested or the judge recalls it.

If Blaine police stop you and a warrant shows up, you go to the Anoka County jail at 325 East Main Street in Anoka. Under MS 629.41, warrants can be served any time of day. Traffic stops are the most common trigger. Some bench warrants allow for sign and release under MS 629.415. The officer gives you a notice with a new court date instead of arresting you. But not every warrant qualifies for this option. The type of charge and the judge's conditions determine what happens.

Failure to appear adds more trouble. Felony defendants who skip court on purpose face up to half the max sentence. Misdemeanor failures to appear are separate misdemeanor charges.
