At Large Arrest Warrant

An At Large Arrest Warrant designates a person charged with a crime who has left the boundaries of Colorado or another state.  This can be the same as a fugative warrant.

A fugative warrant is generally known to mean an arrest warrant seeking someone who is wanted in another state, or someone wanted after failing to appear in a Colorado court.  This type of warrant can seem worse than it really is, since many people who have left a state do so without even knowning there is a warrant for their arrest.
