English term or phrase: unpaid summons
La siguiente frase me aparece en un certificado de penales estadounidense.

Warrant- unpaid summons- paid

Entiendo que es una orden de arresto, pero lo que me despista es el "unpaid summons"... ¿A qué se refiere?

Muchas gracias,

Laura

I agree with Daniel Parra: a summons can be a traffic ticket, and arrest warrants are often issued for non/late payment.

Good luck :-)

Asker: Gracias, Dolores. ¿Entonces se podría entender que tenía una citación pendiente pero que ya está "paid" o cancelada?

disagree  wnavarro: Una citación es solo para aparecer delante de un juez. Despues del caso pueda que el juez imponga una multa. Como la pregunta se trata de estar sin pagar entonces no se refiere a una citación sino a una multa.
