If I'm stopped by police here in Utah will they extradite me back to wa state
answered on Sep 26, 2022
For a felony warrant it is possible. Not guaranteed
You should contact an attorney in that county (or in WA State) and get something started before you get picked up and maybe a court date can be set and an appearance done so that you don't have to START the process in jail. That is my advise.

Your question seems to be, If the alleged suspect of an alleged crime is White, why is there an Hispanic person being held in jail for the crime?

You needed to ask for this clarification at the time of sentencing because it sounds like the Judge sentenced this person to 60 days jail and so that is the way it is.

Court never saw and individual while they were in jail. They had a court date and never were seen. We’re released and disposition said NCF final on the website.

What this means is that for now, the matter isn't charged. It has been stopped and the State is investigating it further to determine if they have more potential evidence against this person to file the charge. If the underlying charge is a misdemeanor level case, they have a year to file... Read more »

I had parked my car and was walking home when I was arrested charged and sentenced for DUI this is from almost 20 years ago
answered on Mar 21, 2022
So what is your question?

answered on Mar 9, 2022
I have found that if you were to provide this information to the court (usually through your attorney) the court/Judge will allow the continuance. You have an attorney RIGHT?
answered on Dec 17, 2021
yes you can but you need to be represented by an experienced criminal defense attorney to help you through this mine field of DUI.
I was told by a local police precinct when I was 16 that I had an active/open case with them. They won’t tell me what it’s about. How do I know if it’s still open? I’m 19 now and haven’t been contacted by anyone ever since. Never went to court or charged with anything.

It is not smart to have a person talk with prosecutor's about a possible resolution to criminal offenses without being an attorney AND not the attorney that will trying the case if it is to go to trial.
