I suspect the warrant is related to him not showing for court regarding previous citations received at 500 Pearl Street.

Adam Mueller of CopBlock was able to get the following additional info:

• Julian was taken to a hospital. It is not known if it was to the psych wing of Bellvue like he is normally taken or elsewhere for other reasons.
• If he returns before 4:30PM he should have time to see a judge and possibly be released.
• Adam was told that people can call 212-805-4051 to check in on his status.

UPDATE:

5:07PM: Just spoke with Julian’s wife. She called the US Marshal service. They informed her that Julian was at the courthouse at 500 Pearl St., Manhattan. This likely means he’s been taken in front of a judge for arraignment.

UPDATE 2:

5:35PM: Susan Heicklen called me to inform me that the court or another related agency contacted her just minutes prior to tell her that Julian was on his way home.
