My daughter was arrested in Bourbon county Kentucky on December 21st for a warrant out of Fayette county Kentucky how many days can they hold her before they either transport her or have to release her
answered on Dec 30, 2022

Can this be held against me legally ? I regret it and plan on paying back but am worried

You never have to take a charge you always have the right to go to trial but if you want to get off Bond or HIP or other restrictions and you choose to plead guilty you give up many rights including the right to go to trial.

An arrest can be made by police in a domestic case based on probable cause determined by the officer. He does not have to witness it or be present. An arrest may also be made upon a warrant issued upon a sworn statement of the police or private citizen. Consult a criminal defense lawyer near you... View More

Leave messages. Have proof that have you tried to contact them. Go see them at their office or call their supervisor.
answered on Dec 5, 2022
They will not arrest you at the ID place but anytime you’re pulled over you could be arrested for an out of state warrant depending on what the charges are. I think it’s safer to clear that warrant out before you try to get an ID.
What happened to the second time you violate any Epo ? Does it turn into a felony?

In Kentucky, violation of an EPO constitutes contempt of court which is prosecuted as a Misdemeanor A (can be jailed up to 365 days on conviction). There is no enhancement of this misdemeanor penalty to felony.

I don’t understand the facts. It’s a confusing scenario. If you violate a DVO and there is clear proof they could turn it into the prosecutors and they could seek charges but not always and even if they do that wouldn’t mean you automatically lose a child
