Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin

Based upon the case number alone, the case which you mention would appear to be a felony. However, it is not unheard of for cases starting as a felony to be amended to misdemeanors. Either way, if a warrant has been issued for your arrest under this case, it is clearly a serious matter which could result in substantial incarceration for you. It is therefore a very bad idea for you to be unrepresented in such a case. You should therefore immediately retain an experienced criminal lawyer rather than seeking advice on a public web forum for such an urgent matter as an active arrest warrant. Usually, your attorney would immediately try to arrange for you to voluntarily surrender yourself to authorities, which may allow him to later argue to the judge that you are a better risk for bond, regardless of what you did earlier to allow this matter to turn into an arrest warrant. Have an arrest warrant is a very unusual development�the vast majority of felony cases go through the system without ever having an arrest warrant issued buut instead proceeding via a summons only.
