If the Court issues a bench warrant because of a defendant’s failure to appear or for another reason, the defendant or their counsel may file a motion and proposed order to quash a warrant. The filing of a motion to quash a warrant does not quash the warrant and the defendant remains subject to an arrest warrant.

(1) At the time of the filing, the Court Clerk shall set the motion to quash on the Court’s next available warrant quash calendar and enter the date and time on the motion.

(2) The defendant, if self-represented, or their counsel shall provide notice of the motion and a copy of the proposed order to the prosecutor and shall file proof of service with the Court.

(3) The defendant shall appear at the hearing and personally sign for their next court date. If the defendant fails to appear at the scheduled warrant quash hearing, the motion will be stricken from the docket and the warrant will remain active.
