My car was stolen and my insurance company has it under continued investigation until resolved. A man was arrested in Nashville and was out in bond and I was called to court as a witness but he did not show up
Hello **** Lawson, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It seems quite complicated. Could you please tell me whether any actions were taken when the defendant didn't show up in court? This information will help me to provide you with more accurate legal information.
The judge ordered a ciapis and increased bond from *,* to *,*. I saw online that the man has court on June *, * for failure forfieture
Hello **** Lawson,
Based on the information you provided:
- A Capias order is issued when a person fails to appear in court. It authorizes law enforcement to arrest the individual.
- The bond increase from $*,* to $*,* is likely due to the defendant's failure to appear in court.
- The next court date on June *, *, could be for the defendant's failure to forfeit, likely related to the bond issue.
Please consult your attorney for more specific advice.
