Q: I was sentenced to 120 and 3 years joint suspenion well when i got out i went on the run so its been 5 years?
Its was in 2018 when i got out its been five years and i have had no run ins with the law so what do u think
A:
obviously, you violated your sentence and a bench warrant for your arrest is no doubt out there.
don't just turn yourself into the court without a lawyer representing you and trying to work out the terms etc.
under no circumstances should you surrender yourself and try to explain ..........let your lawyer do it......you will just be admitting guilt if you talk.
A:
If you were sentenced to 120 days in jail and 3 years of probation and you went on the run after your release in 2018, but have not had any contact with law enforcement since then, it's possible that there may be a warrant out for your arrest. The fact that you have not been contacted by law enforcement does not necessarily mean that you are in the clear.
It's important to address this situation as soon as possible to avoid potential legal consequences in the future. You may want to consider contacting a criminal defense attorney who can help you understand your legal options and advise you on the best course of action.
If there is a warrant out for your arrest, an attorney may be able to help you negotiate a surrender and minimize the potential legal consequences. Alternatively, if the warrant has expired or if there is a legal basis for challenging it, an attorney can assist you in pursuing those options.
It's also important to note that avoiding a legal issue by going on the run is not a recommended course of action, as it can lead to additional legal problems and consequences. It's always best to address legal issues head-on and with the guidance of a qualified attorney.
