The term "arrest warrant purge" is not a term used in other courts. I can only assume that it means the arrest warrant was recalled and lifted. Do you know what the e-mail reply was about? Did you reply by e-mail? You may want to talk to a bail bond company to find out if there is a warrant outstanding for you.

It appears that a complaint was filed and a warrant was issued, and then later purged. I would recommend that you request your own criminal history from the California attorney general and see if anything shows up. You can google California department of justice and obtain your own criminal history records.

I have not seen that term used before here in LA. However, it appears to mean that a previous active warrant was recalled.

courthouses in different locations use different terminology. It seems to me that "Arrest Warrant Purge" would mean that the warrant was recalled. The count court house clerk could probably decipher this for you.

What you are looking at is likely the court's on-line record of the case at issue.This is an inherently unreliable source of information. It certainly indicates the major events but isn't exactly descriptive (as you can see). This entry likely does not mean the warrant was recalled, but may indicate it was removed from the court's system-does not necessarily mean law enforcement can no longer act on it (i.e. make an arrest). This brings to mind a separate issue: this is an old case that apparently law enforcement has done nothing to pursue. That is, no one has served the warrant. If the defendant is ever brought to court, she should seriously consider a motion to dismiss on due process grounds on the theory the lack of notice of the charges has actually deprived her of a defense ('Serna' motion). If you really want to know what is going on with this case, go down to the courthouse and look at the file. It's public information and certainly would provide the complete picture.
