A Tennessee Detained Warrant is a court order issued by the state of Tennessee that authorizes the detention or arrest of an individual for an alleged criminal offense. The detained warrant is issued by a judge in order to ensure that the accused appears in court to answer the charges against them. The Tennessee Detained Warrant is also known as an arrest warrant, capital, or bench warrant. There are two types of Tennessee Detained Warrants: an active detained warrant and an outstanding detained warrant. An active detained warrant is issued when the accused has been arrested, and the court has determined that the accused may be a threat to public safety or flee the jurisdiction before their court hearing. An outstanding detained warrant is issued when the accused has failed to appear at their court hearing and is considered a fugitive from justice. Both types of Tennessee Detained Warrants authorize law enforcement to arrest the accused and bring them before the court.
