An oustanding arrest warrant is a warrant that has yet to be served to the individual named. It may not have been served for several reasons. One of which is that the individual may be evading police. The warrant may also become outstanding if an individual has not been made aware that police even have a warrant to serve. Another reason may be that police are backed up and have yet to get to
. that person. Again, an outstand arrest warrant is any warrant that has yet to be served.
