§ 14-20. Court-issued warrants and summons.

(a)

If a person fails to appear in court as required by a summons, fails to appear at any post-arraignment proceeding, or fails to comply with an order of the municipal judge or a condition of release on bond, the judge may issue a warrant for the person's arrest.

(b)

If a person fails to appear in municipal court as required by a subpoena or fails to comply with any subsequent order of the judge premised upon such subpoena, the judge may issue a warrant for the person's arrest.

(c)

Upon the filing of a properly executed complaint by any person and with the agreement of the city attorney, the judge may issue a warrant for the arrest of an individual if the complaint is accompanied by an affidavit that sets forth facts sufficient to show probable cause to believe the alleged violation has been committed, that the individual accused has committed it, and that the offense and conditions are such that the defendant could be incarcerated as provided in section 14-15. If the individual may not be incarcerated, the municipal judge shall issue a summons.

(d)

Each municipal court warrant shall state the name of the person to be arrested; the Charter, Code, or ordinance section alleged to have been violated; the date and place of the alleged violation; that the person is alleged to have committed the offense; and the bond set for release on bail after arrest.
