What is a Capias warrant?

A capias warrant is a warrant where a plea was entered prior to the issuance of the warrant and the defendant did not follow through with the court agreement. The only way to resolve a Capias warrant is to pay the fine in full or be released "time served" by remaining in jail until enough jail credit has been accumulated.
