Minn. R. Crim. P. 19.01
As amended through October 28, 2024
On the filing of an indictment, the court must issue a warrant for the arrest of each defendant named in the indictment, except that the court may issue a summons instead of a warrant when the prosecutor requests or the court directs, or if the defendant is a corporation.
The court may order an indicted defendant already in custody to be brought before the court at a specified date and time.
More than one warrant or summons may be issued for the same defendant. If a defendant, other than a corporation, fails to appear in response to a summons, a warrant must issue.
