Q: Q: In Arizona if warrant for arrest issued with a bond for missing a proceeding, can defendant travel out of the state?
Proceeding was for narcotics charge. Notification of Procreding date sent by certified mail but never received or signed
A:
No, you cannot travel out of state. It sounds like you have a felony warrant for a pending narcotic drug charge. If you are arrested out-of-state, you will likely be extradited. This isn't civil...you can't win by contesting service. You are getting arrested unless the judge agrees to quash the warrant.
Hire an attorney to represent you and file a motion to quash the warrant. You'll need to get this taken care of asap. Many criminal defense attorneys offer free consultations.
