HRS §805-5
When a judge can issue an arrest warrant after a summons
This section lets a district judge issue an arrest warrant for a person who was already summoned to court. The judge can do this at any time after the summons is issued, if the judge thinks there is a good reason. The warrant is based on the same complaint that started the case.
