Ann Arbor, MI asked in Criminal Law and Municipal Law for Indiana

Q: My friend was pulled over and went to jail i was passenger.Cop let me drive off..can i be charged w/Driving while suspnd

My friend was pulled over and went to jail and then the cop allowed me to drive off in the car with the suspended license.. and then later down the line requested that driving while suspended charges be put on me is that even possible?.. I have no idea charges were filed against me until almost 3 years later when I went to jail and had to bond out... So now they're charged to charge me for driving while suspended and I was never pulled over..

A: This sounds like BS, I suggest consulting with a local criminal defense attorney asap who can represent the facts to the prosecutor and hopefully get a dismissal of the charges.
