What is a pre-warrant?
In the Magistrate Court individuals are allowed to file an application for a criminal warrant as long as they have a police report. The case would be scheduled for a pre-warrant hearing and notices are mailed out to all parties. At the pre-warrant hearing, the Judge will hear testimony from the parties and if sufficient evidence is given, an arrest warrant may be issued at that time.
