Story is in 2006 or 2005 cant remember. i went to Kentucky to visit my sis n law and her new boyfriend while i was there he had an issue and his business account was on hold. So he had me cash two checks for him. that way his bank would not place a hold. MY bank verified and approved checks even called company that wrote checks. I had a bank account there and sister bank here in AZ is why i cashed checks.But I live in AZ always have. 3/4 yrs after I was pulled over for id check one night. name was ran and warrant from Kentucky popped up. I had been issued a FOJ Warrant. at the time 4 years after i left, 2 counts criminal possession of a forged instrument in the 2nd. Can that case be transferred here where i have lived all my life.

I'm willing to handle case but would have to be from here. Business owner/Single Parent.Help!!
