Five Types of Warrants in New Jersey Drug Crime Cases

1. Warrant Upon Indictment

If you are being charged with a felony-level offense (which is referred to as an “indictable offense” in New Jersey), once you are indicted, the court will issue a warrant for your arrest.

2. Warrant Upon Criminal Complaint

A criminal complaint is what prosecutors use to seek a warrant when they believe that they have probable cause to pursue charges for drug crimes and a formal indictment is not required. But, for practical purposes, a warrant based upon a criminal complaint is very similar to a warrant based upon an indictment, and both require a strategic and measured response.

3. Bench Warrant

If you are supposed to attend a court hearing related to drug charges and you fail to appear, the judge can issue a warrant for your arrest immediately. This is referred to as a “bench warrant,” and it can lead to additional charges on top of your drug charges.

4. Warrant for Violation of Probation

If you violate the terms of your probation following a drug crime conviction, this can result in a warrant being issued for your arrest.

5. Warrant for Violation of Parole

Similarly, if you are out on parole and you violate the terms of your release, this can lead to a warrant being issued as well.

What if the Police Searched or Arrested Me Without a Warrant?

Many of our clients come to us after being arrested without a warrant. During their arrest, they typically had their person, vehicle or home searched without a warrant as well. While there are circumstances under which a warrant is not required, these circumstances are limited, and if you were searched or arrested unlawfully we can use this to protect you.
