(a) If the defendant fails to appear at the circuit court as required by the appeal bond, he shall be liable to the same penalties, forfeitures and proceedings as on a forfeited bail bond taken in the court, and a new warrant of arrest may issue from that court without any other authority therefor.
(b) Such warrant of arrest must be directed to any sheriff of the State of Alabama; and, when the defendant is arrested, he must be dealt within all respects as if the arrest had been made on capias from the circuit court.
