Q: If I had illegally used a debit card 2015, moved to Florida what are my options if any? Statute of limitations?
I had used my mom's credit union debit card at numerous places at the end of July 2015. Over a weekend. On Monday I got on a bus to Florida to escape an abusive boyfriend and a very serious drug problem. (Heroin for almost 12 years @ 30 yrs old. I e been clean and sober since. No further issues with the law. Had another daughter and got married. I have two daughters that I unfortunately had to leave behind. It was just a matter of time before they found me dead. I want to come home! I have a LOT of past charges. Went to prison in 2006 for probation violations on the same type of crime. Only that time it was my brother's card I had used.
*And yes I left Michigan while on bond for something I can't remember what it's called but a friend I was with returned a stolen $45 backpack. I was quilty by association I guess.
A: Do you have pending charges? Are there warrants for your arrest? If so, then at some point you'll have to deal with each case. And if you have warrants, it's hard to say whether any of them are serious enough to extradite you, but that is a possibility that you absolutely don't want. Luck would have it that you get pulled over for something simple while doing something with your family. The police run your name and these warrants appear so they take you to jail. Then the fun begins where you are transported back to Michigan and held in jail here. That trip would likely take place in the back of a van or bus, with many unpleasant stops along the way. In short, you need to first find out if you have warrants, then hire a Michigan attorney to help you address them.
