Usually, a Bench Warrant is issued by the judge in the proceeding that you did not show up for. These can be for any court proceeding that you should have been in attendance. More generally speaking, a judge can issue a bench warrant for anybody, and for any reason, although their proceedings are subject to reveiw by higher courts and higher judges. The "to hold" is, I don't think the right terminology. because if you are picked-up on a bench warrant, you will see the judge before you get out.
I think it's just like a normal "warrant" except issued by the courts not the law. Most likely issued for none payment of tickets....Missed a court date.....haven't made a payment for child care...vise versa. It will stay open in that state until "issue" is resolved. If your name gets ran in "ANY" law enforcement computer ie DNR, Police, Child Support etc, you will most likely be arrested on spot, and taken to jail. If your in another state they will extradite you back to the state that has the warrant. From what I've been reading....any state will extradite you for misdomeaners and felonies, then you will have more charges, fines, and you will have the label of a "flight risk" and they ....the courts....won't be light on any thing in the future.
I hope this works!

This doesn't make sense: a person who has been served a bench warrant is arrested and brought to the court that issued the warrant. However if the warrant has a bond amount specified, the person posts it, then doesn't show, then another bench warrant will be issued for a higher or no bond.
A bench warrant is issued by the Court. A private citizen or his attorney isn't the originating agent, the Court (the judge) is. The Court has sole discretion in this, and cannot be compelled to issue a bench warrant.
