Failure to appear warrant
I’ve been told that I have a warrant for failure to appear. My court papers said I had court on 03/29 and the court said it was 03/28. Can the arrest me?

When you failed to appear, a bench warrant was issued for your arrest.
To resolve this matter, call the court clerk and find out when you can appear in court. You will have to pay a large fine, but the failure to appear will be resolved.
