So if the sheriff was to arrest me at my home with a bench warrant that was not signed by anyone, there was a cover sheet with an electronic signature of the judge but it wasnt't of the court. The warrant was issued in the name of J. BURNETT according to the cover sheet. The alleged warrant itself said to arrest JASON BURNETT for failure to appear. The sheriff's return document said he was to return this writ after putting JASON BURNETT in custody to be held without bond. The court case is in the name of Jason W Burnett and I had asked to look at the warrant and was denied, the sheriff and his deputy forced their way past me into my house and forced me into the officers pickup and took me to jail. Once we arrived at the jail I was allowed to see the warrart and I told them it was invalid because it wasnt signed
