Shiawassee County District Attorney Scott Koerner told NBC25 that Hansen was subpoenaed in court on Thursday but failed to do so.
Cops have confirmed that an arrest warrant has been issued for the TV star.
Hansen was part of an undercover operation with local cops as they attempted to hunt down predators.
The TV host was invited by Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson.

The men reportedly showed up at a hotel thinking they were going to have sex with teens between the ages of 13 and 15, reports said.
The arrest warrant comes after Hansen was charged with harassment.

The Crime Watch Daily host was arrested in Connecticut in January 2019 for allegedly writing $ 13,000 in bad checks.
TMZ also reported that he had been evicted from his New York City apartment for non-payment of rent.
