A: Yes, it is possible for police to speak with relatives at their place of employment to try and obtain the location of an individual. It is also possible to check if a person has an active arrest warrant. I recommend having an attorney call the Records Department at the Sheriff's Office in the county where the warrant most likely originated.

A: yes, the police will do whatever they have to when there is a serious warrant.

they may not do it for a DUI but will for a more serious felony.

you should contact a criminal lawyer in your area to look into it for you.

if there is a good chance of your being arrested you might even want to have your lawyer get you set up for bail at a reduced fee.
