A Capias is best described as

A warranty for arrest issued by a judge

A preliminary hearing schedule

A written Document from grand jury authorizing arrest

A capias is a court-issued writ that commands law enforcement to arrest a named person and bring them before the court. It serves as a formal written order to compel an arrest so the person can be produced in court, often used when someone fails to appear or needs to be brought to answer a matter before the judge. Among the given options, the one that best captures this idea is a written document from the grand jury authorizing arrest, since it describes a formal written authority to arrest. The other choices describe scheduling, evidence motions, or charges that don’t align with the arrest-for-court-appearance purpose of a capias.

A motion to suppress evidence
