Q: Can marshals get involved if I have not had my judicial proceedings?
I have felony charge I was accused of....the cops put open warrant on me after talking to alleged victim...since I havent been arraigned or been to court at all, are marshals legally able to investigate and look for me?...or would i have to violate judge order to not leave the state before marshals could get involved?
A:
If there is an active warrant, the Marshall's could be looking for you. They will not stop until you show up to court.
Best wishes,
