I guess the title of this post is self explanatory. So what are the differences between a bench warrant and an arrest warrant if any? Especially if the bench warrant is due to an unpaid fine or late restitution payment? Wyoming
A "bench warrant" is typically one issued by the "bench" (i.e. the judge) when a defendant fails to appear for a hearing or other legal process. It IS an arrest warrant.

Arrest warrants may also be issued pursuant to a request from the District Attorney to the court.
