IANAL but I thought these would be civil cases in which a summary judgement for the plaintiff would be given which would then allow wage garnishment to happen, not arresting. Seems something is missing from the story.
Summary judgment for not showing the first time. Then probably they skipped the debtor’s exam where you figure out if they have means to pay. That’s when the bench warrant is issued. You can’t garnish wages if you don’t even know where they work.
