Mililani Town Bench Warrants Basics

Mililani Town is a planned community in central Oahu. It lies between Wahiawa and Pearl City, just off Interstate H-2. All bench warrants tied to Mililani Town cases come from the First Circuit Court. That is the same court that hears all Oahu matters. A judge at 777 Punchbowl Street in Honolulu signs the warrant. Police then serve it. Mililani Town is served by the Wahiawa Police Station at (808) 723-8700.

A bench warrant is not the same as an arrest warrant. A bench warrant comes from the judge's bench, in the middle of a case, when a person fails to appear or breaks a court order. An arrest warrant comes at the start, based on probable cause. Both warrants go into the Judiciary Information Management System, also called JIMS, and flow out to the eBench Warrant tool for police use.

Clearing a Mililani Town Bench Warrant

Do not ignore a Mililani Town bench warrant. The warrant stays live until an officer serves it or a judge recalls it. A private defense lawyer can file a motion to quash. The Office of the Public Defender may help if funds are tight. Many courts will set a new hearing date if the person shows up on their own; the judge may quash the warrant after the person posts bail or signs new release terms.

Before you walk into a police station, call the HPD records desk at (808) 723-3258. That desk can confirm if the warrant is still active. Officers can arrest you on the spot if the warrant is valid, so most people call first or send a lawyer.
