A bench warrant cannot be issued if you fail to appear in court unless the subpoena has been properly served according to the laws and court rules of the state involved. Unless it has been served it is not binding on a person even if that person knows about it.

∙ 14y agoI'm going to assume (always a dangerous thing to do) that the question refers to a Process Server or perhaps a Deputy Sheriff attempting to serve you with court papers. Only a judge can issue a Bench Warrant, but if the papers they are trying to serve you with are issued by a judge and you are wilfully avoiding them, the judge COULD issue a bench warrant for your arrest to compel your appearance before them.

What are the legal implications of not signing a summons?
You don't sign a summons when served with one; you simply have to have it handed to you, whereby you are recorded as being the recipient of the summons. It is the issuer who has to sign it. If it's not signed, then it would be legally invalid. However, after being served with a summons, not abiding by its terms will most likely result in a bench warrant for your arrest from the issuing judge. And then the agency issuing the summons can send out arresting officers and you go to the local lockup (police station), followed by a trip to the area local jail to await your trial. (Here in Chicago, Cook county, this is 14 days.)

How should a bench warrant be handled by the sheriffs dept?
A bench warrant is an order to immediately take the named individual into custody and deliver them directly to court. The SO will make an immediate attempt to serve the warrant at the individuals residence, place of work, or known 'hangouts.' If unsuccessful, they will keep up in the attempt and retain the warrant in file. If the judge orders it, they will enter it into the statewide and interstate criminal computer network (NCIC) with an extradition request. Bench warrants don't expire and there is no SOL attached to them.

What is a bench warrant?
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.
