Q: I ran away from a group home at 17, that my probation officer put me in. I’m 18 now and have a kid.
Whenever I look up my name on the public warrant search, nothing comes up. Do I have a warrant? And if I do will they put me in jail if I turn myself in? even though I have a newborn? My charge was resisting arrest
A:
MORE INFO NEEDED.
DID THE COURT ORDER YOU THERE OR DID YOU GO THERE ON YOUR OWN.
IF THE COURT DID YOU PROBABLY HAD A PUBLIC DEFENDER APPOINTED FOR YOU.
IF SO CONTACT THEIR OFFICE TO SEE IF THEY CAN LOOK INTO IT FOR YOU.
IF YOU SURRENDER YOURSELF (WITH A LAWYER) I ALWAYS HAVE MY CLIENTS DO SO WITH ME AT COURT OR
I DISCUSS WITH DA BEFORE I COME TO COURT WITH DA.........USUALLY, YOU WILL NOT STAY IN JAIL.
