I was arrested on a warrant for falier to appear on a midomenor. I was told that I ran out of the court room. I was charged with a felony escape. I have served my terminal and am being told I have to be on parole. I tried to jump through the hoops of being on paper twice before and was not capable of being successful at it(I have psychological issues that I wasgetting disability for until I had to spend six months in count and got cut off.) So I talked to my court appointed representation and asked if we could request my terminal so I would not have to live with the constant fear of having a warrant. We went to court I served my terminal and am now being told I must do 3 years of parole.
