A Kentucky Warrant for the Arrest of a Witness or Material Witness in a Pending Criminal Case is a legal document that authorizes law enforcement to apprehend a witness or material witness in a criminal case. This type of warrant is issued by a judge when it is believed that the witness or material witness has failed to appear for a court hearing or is not complying with the court's order. The warrant is executed by a law enforcement officer who has been assigned to the case. There are three different types of Kentucky Warrant for the Arrest of a Witness or Material Witness in a Pending Criminal Case. The first is a bench warrant, which is issued when a witness or material witness fails to appear for a scheduled court hearing. The second is a search warrant, which is issued when a witness or material witness is believed to be in possession of evidence related to the criminal case. The third type is a body attachment, which is issued when a witness or material witness is believed to be avoiding service of process. In all cases, the Kentucky Warrant for the Arrest of a Witness or Material Witness in a Pending Criminal Case must be properly served and executed upon the witness or material witness. If the warrant is not properly served or executed, the witness or material witness may be able to challenge the validity of the warrant and have it dismissed.
