A: It is not illegal if your neighbor thought you committed a crime involving his property. If there is a warrant then you are going to need to call the Sheriff's department and see if they want you to turn yourself in. Because of COVID-19 , people with warrants are being booked then released on a ROR bond and given a court date. It is crucial that you hire an attorney to investigate the facts of your case and prove to the district attorney or judge that it wasn't you who committed the crime.
