    Default What Happens After the Police Issue a Non-Arrest Warrant

    So I had a little too much to drink last night and while I was walking home I for some reason walked into a little shop and had the great idea of taking a fancy pen that wasn't behind display (it was a Mont Blanc I believe retail about $600) anyway of course I got caught the police were called they put me in handcuffs and took me to the back room, they took my ID saw that I had no warrants took my name, address, dob, height, weight all that stuff by then adrenaline kicked in and I sobered up a bit and I asked if I could talk to someone about just paying for the item, a guy comes to the back I talk to him for a little, they uncuff me and the officer tells me I can go home but that she is going to file a "non arrest warrant" and I would have to pay a $5000 bond and go to court to avoid jail. Basically my question is what do I do now just wait? How long does a non arrest warrant usually take to go into effect? Im 21 and this is the first time I've ever been in any sort of trouble. This was in Houston TX by the way.

    If you do not already have a court date, you'll get one in the mail. Read this. Consider consulting a local lawyer about possible dispositions, such as a deferred Class C misdemeanor (which, if successfully completed, would make you eligible for immediate expungement). Your lawyer will be able to advise you as to what options are likely to be available given the prosecutor's polices and the practices of the judge assigned to the case.
