    Default Will a Parent With Warrants be Arrested at a Juvenile Court

    A minor and her mother have been summoned to juvenile court in Wisconsin due to the minor's truancy. The mother has a bench warrant out for her arrest due to a traffic misdemeanor. Will she be arrested if she goes to court with her daughter?

    Default Re: Will a Parent With Warrants be Arrested at a Juvenile Court

    It is very possible for a person who is wanted on a warrant to be detained, if the warrant is known to the judge or prosecutor when that person appears in court. Given that this is a truancy charge where the mother was summoned to court, there is a good chance that the prosecutor will have checked the mother for warrants. The mother should take care of her warrant or, at a minimum, discuss her options with a criminal defense lawyer.
