New Ulm, MN asked in Criminal Law for Minnesota

Q: I was living in SC and was buying a car from my sister and I moved back to MN and she reported the car stolen, so I was

picked up and charged and did all my courts in MN. But there is still a warrant for my arrest in SC even though I was convicted for it in MN. How do I fix it?

A: It is unclear from your question why the warrant was issued in South Carolina. More information is needed on how to best address both the warrant in South Carolina as well as the charge(s) in South Carolina.

A: Were charges filed in South Carolina only, Minnesota only, or both? If the only charges were filed in a Minnesota Court, all arrest warrants related to that case should be satisfied and gone, once cleared in Minnesota.
