Misdemeanor Arrest Warrants in Los Angeles, California
A misdemeanor is a type of criminal offense which is typically punishable by up to 12 months in county jail, along with other penalties. Some examples of misdemeanor offenses include: simple DUI, petty theft, reckless driving, shoplifting, marijuana possession, harassment, and prostitution. Many criminal offenses in California are actually “wobblers” which means they may be classified as felony or misdemeanor offenses depending upon the particular circumstances of the crime.
When law enforcement has probable cause to believe that you were involved in the commission of a misdemeanor offense, an arrest warrant may be issued against you, authorizing your immediate arrest.
