If the defendant has been released on bail in accordance with any provision of chapter 23A-43 and does not appear when so ordered by the court, the court, in addition to the forfeiture of bail, may direct the clerk of the court to issue a bench warrant for his arrest. The clerk, on application of the prosecuting attorney, may, at any time after the order, whether the court be sitting or not, issue a bench warrant, and may assess costs of such issuance against the defendant in the sum of ten dollars.
