The English Defence League founder failed to attend a hearing in March over an unpaid legal bill after he lost a libel case.
Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was due to appear at the Royal Courts of Justice last month in connection with unpaid legal bills.
The 39-year-old accused one Greater Manchester Police Officer of trying to 'bait' him into a reaction so they could 'arrest him legitimately'.
