5250 - Arrest of judgment debtor.

§  5250.  Arrest  of  judgment  debtor.    Upon motion of the judgment  creditor without notice, where it is shown that the judgment  debtor  is  about  to depart from the state, or keeps himself concealed therein, and  that there is reason to believe that he has in his possession or custody  property in which he has an interest, the  court  may  issue  a  warrant  directed  to  the sheriff of any county in which the judgment debtor may  be located. The warrant shall command the sheriff to arrest the judgment  debtor forthwith and bring him before the court. The sheriff shall serve  a copy of the warrant and the papers upon which it was  based  upon  the  judgment  debtor  at  the  time  he  makes the arrest. When the judgment  debtor is brought before the court, the court may order that he give  an  undertaking,  in  a  sum  to  be fixed by the court, that he will attend  before the court for examination and that he will obey the terms of  any  restraining notice contained in the order.
