There are statutory protections for those that help others who are overdosing. However, if there are facts/events that do not fall within the statutory protections, it may be possible for you to be prosecuted. You should consult with a criminal defense attorney.

There is no difference between a vehicle nor a home if the felon is in possession of a gun. However, the State will need to still prove the felon possessed the gun. Being in the presence of a firearm is insufficient if someone else is possessing the firearm.

answered on Feb 7, 2022
If the alleged offense is a misdemeanor, the State has 2 years to file charges, if the offense is a felony, the State has 5 years to file charges. So yes, he could be 18 when he is charged and arrested. However, since he was 17 at the time of the alleged offense even if he is 18 or older the... View More

If it is a new OWI then the charges should be a felony and it would require a minimum of 5 days jail or 240 hours of community service and a minimum one year license suspension. If the charges are not OWI then it will depend on... View More

You should not talk to anyone other than an attorney about the situation; anything you say can be used against you. You should try and hire an attorney, most have payment plans. If you cannot afford an attorney and are charged then request a public defender.

Firing your attorney will not restart your case. Your new attorney may be able to raise issues your prior attorney did not, but your case will not start over. Additionally, it will not automatically remove the FTA warrant. If your FTA was as a result of your prior attorney not advising you of a... View More

If your case is an infraction and you do not pay by the deadline the court should not issue a warrant, though I have seen it done. However, your license would most likely be suspended. You should file a motion with the court requesting more time to pay and state your financial issues with paying... View More

It may be possible to set aside the judgment. However, if you are suspended for a proof of insurance violation, even setting aside the judgment may not remove the suspension. You may be eligible for specialized driving privileges if you can not clean up the suspensions.

Review the letter in more detail to see if there is an exclusion, my guess is there is not. It should also give you a phone number to the prosecutor's office to call and get more clarification.

I have searched online but am not sure of a document number for said petition. I am filing pro se to a small county & the clerk had said that even a hand written letter to the judge would suffice as it has been well over 10 yrs. since suspension took effect so even a sample letter would be helpful.

There is no form per se, rather look at the statute to make sure you cover all that is required to be alleged in the petition. It would be advisable to put a caption on the top and a title to the petition.

To answer your question even with the letter whether the case is dismissed against the others will depend on the evidence and the prosecutor's discretion. Everyone should have an attorney and not try to resolve this on your own.
