I am not sure what you mean by a "stink bomb" If the device meets the legal definition of a bomb then you are going to have a problem. If you just released foul odors into the air it could constitute a crime if it was intentional done to cause harm to others. If it interfered with... View More 
Very serious charges have been made and now I'm running from police. Its easier to prove my innocence when I'm free than behind bars

It is unlikely that a warrant will be recalled once issued. You should hire a lawyer and be prepared to have funds to post bond and turn yourself in. Otherwise you risk getting arrested at anytime when it may not be so convenient. It will not go away on its own.

I would encourage you to hire a lawyer. Once the warrant is issued it is extremely unlikely that the warrant will be recalled. You will have to turn yourself in and fight the charges in court.

If the wife provided a gun or ammunition to a convicted felon, yes she can be prosecuted for that.

answered on Jan 28, 2019
It is highly unlikely that you are under a felony first offender sentence and a convicted felon at the same time. Nevertheless, you cannot possess a firearm under either. Whether the firearm is inoperable will relate to whether it can meet the definition of a firearm.

Detective told my son if he would take him to the gun he wouldn't be charged with it but he was......
answered on Jan 28, 2019
Police are not required to tell the truth, however if a promise was made that he would not be charged it could result in the evidence and statement from your son being inadmissible in court. I suggest he hire a lawyer to defend him.
My question is a little complicated. This has to do with a State Farm Insurance Agent who owns his own agency and is allowing his son to commit theft and fraud out of his agency/office. What is the best way to go about reporting this?
answered on Jan 28, 2019
You can always file a police report to file a complaint about the crime. You can also contact the corporate office of State Farm and make them aware of it.

Negative, that would qualify as a firearm and it would be illegal to possess if you are a convicted felon.

It is not possible to serve a sentence longer than you were originally given. If the person is still under parole you may have the ability to pursue a civil action against the government.

If I am sentenced to go straight to jail in the county I live in, what will the other county do to me , if I could not show to court because I am incarcerated?
answered on Jan 22, 2019
You should contact the other court to make them aware of where you will be. Persons can be transported to court by the Sheriff when they are in custody in one county and have court in another county. Happens all the time.
The supposed drug selling was not proven but the charge stuck without any material facts to support the upgraded charges

If there is evidence of drug dealing based upon recorded phone conversations then yes the State can use that evidence.
