This section outlines where and how arrest processes can be executed in Virginia, including procedures for misdemeanors and corporations. It specifies that arrest warrants can be executed anywhere in the state and details the process for issuing and handling indictments, presentments, and summonses, including procedures for corporations and costs involved.
Arrest warrants issued in Virginia can be executed in any part of the Commonwealth.
The court may issue a capias or proceed with the trial as if the defendant had appeared, without enforcing jail time.
Summonses can be served as provided by law, and if the corporation fails to appear, the court may proceed to trial and judgment without further process.
The court may certify the publication expense to the state, which is paid from the state treasury and taxed as costs, then collected from the defendant if the judgment is for the Commonwealth.
