I think the employee misunderstood the MPD. Per 466.1x, if she didn't register the dog they issue a warrant NOT FOR HER ARREST but rather a civil warrant that requires her to pay a forfeiture of an additional $25 and to possibly take the dog. If they take the dog there are some storage costs. If she still doesn't pay within 15 days then it goes to district court and she could be fined up to an additional $50.

Again the key is that I doubt she was threatened with arrest. She misunderstood the meaning of Warrant.
