The court may order the officer who has the custody of the defendant to bring him before the court to be arraigned. If the defendant should be on bail, he shall be notified personally when he should appear for the arraignment. If the defendant fails to appear, the court may order the forfeiture of the bail pursuant to Rule 227, or issue a bench warrant, or both. The bench warrant may be served at any place within the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
