What is the county's potential liability, if any, when a defendant charged with DWLI, but not arrested at the time of citation, comes to court - enters his plea without arrest and 3 months later is arrested as a result of the outstanding arrest warrant? The defendant wants compensation for impound of his vehicle, class he missed and hotel bill.

Assuming the arrest warrant is from the same offense he plead on, and the arrest warrant was not withdrawn at time of plea, the County could have some exposure under unlawful restraint.
