ORS 164.215

Burglary in the second degree

(1) Except as otherwise provided in ORS 164.255 (Criminal trespass in the first degree), a person commits the crime of burglary in the second degree if the person enters or remains unlawfully in a building with intent to commit a crime therein.

(2) Burglary in the second degree is a Class C felony. [1971 c.743 �136; 1993 c.680 �24]

If the accused has been charged of a crime and failed to appear at court, what usually happens is that the court issues a bench warrant. What this means is the accused person's case ends up being on hold until they appear.

Highly recommended to seek legal counsel as there are unknown factors in your question to give a complete answer.
