    (A) The defendant or defendant's attorney may schedule a hearing to quash a
warrant, either in person or by telephone, but the warrant will not be stayed
or quashed and the defendant will still be subject to arrest on the warrant
until the defendant has appeared in open court and the Judge has quashed the
warrant.

    (B) A hearing to consider the request to quash a warrant will be scheduled not
later than the next regularly scheduled Judicial Day following the request.
However, a defendant or defendant's attorney may stay or quash a warrant, or
request a hearing later than the next regularly scheduled Judicial Day, by
paying an administrative fee of $100.00 to the Court

    (C) In any case wherein Bond or Bail has been posted to ensure the defendant's
appearance and the said Bond or Bail has been ordered forfeited by the Court,
no warrant shall be stayed or quashed except by the appearance of the defendant
before the Court or surrender of the defendant to jail.
