What to do depends on which jurisdiction the case was filed in. You should hire a criminal defense attorney who takes cases in the county where your case is pending and you should follow that attorney's advice about how to clear the warrant and defend the case.

Don't go trespassing, and especially not during the nighttime with the intent to recover property that he thinks belongs to him. If he has a decent attorney, he would probably get away with shooting you dead under those circumstances.

If she continues to send those messages after you have been 100% clear AND you have stopped responding, then she is committing the crime of Harassment. The cops probably won't do... Read more »

You can be arrested and charged with a felony if a law enforcement officer believes that you physically hurt an elderly person, or that you neglected a duty to prevent them being hurt. The safest thing is to remove yourself from the situation.

An arrest which does not result in convictioin or probation will not keep your husband from purchasing and possessing a firearm.

No, not automatically. They are separate crimes but the prosecutor could dismiss both charges if they wanted to.
I might be going to county jail soon, and found out that I have a warrant in Texas that's in state pickup only. They tell me it's for EPO violation, and I have a court date set here for EPO hearing too. If the warrant is for in state only will they send me to Texas for that?

You should ask... Read more »
