This is from 2008 on FTA. The charge was a local charge-being somewhere after hours.

It probably means pre-adjudication warrant, meaning that there is a warrant for your arrest issued while your case is still pending (pre-adjudication). Typically, when you are ordered to appear in court on criminal charges, and you FTA, the judge can issue a warrant for your arrest, sometimes referred to as a "bench warrant" or a "pre-adjudication warrant." I would recommend consulting with a lawyer who can assist you in getting the warrant quashed and help you deal with the charges. Good luck. Ryan Stevens
