How Clinton Township Bench Warrants Work

A bench warrant in Clinton Township gets issued when a defendant misses a court hearing at the 41B District Court. The judge signs it, and it goes straight into the system. Once it is in LEIN, any officer in the state can act on it. There is no expiration date. The warrant stays open until the person deals with the court or the judge recalls it. If you get pulled over in another part of Michigan with a Clinton Township bench warrant, you can be arrested on the spot.

Turning yourself in at the 41B District Court is the standard way to address a bench warrant. Show up during business hours with your ID. You will be processed through arraignment. The judge will set bond conditions and a new court date. Depending on the charge, you may be able to post bond and leave. For more serious matters, the judge may hold you until the hearing. The Macomb County Sheriff's Office also assists with warrant enforcement throughout the county, including Clinton Township.
