What is the name of your state? NJ
I received an "official legal notice" in the mail today from the Bound Brook Municipal Court saying that a warrant for my arrest had been issued. There is a summons listed from Sep 2006, supposedly for "parking in permit lot w/o valid permit". Problem is I've never even heard of Bound Brook before this, much less been to it, and this is the first time I'm finding out about this (never got a ticket or summons).
The notice has correct info on my name, address, DL and plate. No VIN or description of vehicle.
Would appreciate any pointers. Thanks.
PS: from another post here, I found this link: http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/rules/r7-8.htm -- should I even be getting a warrant for this?

7:8-9. Procedures on Failure to Appear
(a) Warrant or Notice.
(2) Parking Cases. In all parking cases, an arrest warrant shall only be issued if the defendant has failed to respond to two or more pending parking tickets within the jurisdiction. A warrant shall not issue when the pending tickets have been issued on the same day or otherwise within the same 24-hour period.
(b) Driving Privileges; Report to Division of Motor Vehicles.
(d) Parking Cases; Unserved Notice. In parking cases, no arrest warrant may be issued if the initial failure to appear notice is returned to the court by the post office marked to indicate that the defendant cannot be located. The court then may order the suspension of defendant's driving privileges or defendant's nonresident reciprocity privileges or prohibit the person from receiving or obtaining driving privileges until the pending matter is adjudicated or otherwise disposed of. The court shall forward the order to suspend to the Division of Motor Vehicles on a form approved by the Administrative Director of the Courts. The court shall then mark the case as closed on its records, subject to being reopened pursuant to subparagraph (e) of this rule.
