Can a police officer have a no contact order with him when investigating a domestic violence report and can he arrest a person and make them sign the order before he incsrcerates. And have the judge signed the order before he books the defendant?
answered on Apr 18, 2018
If I understand our statement of facts correctly, the answer is no.
There may be other grounds for an arrest but not for an order that did not exist at the time of the allegedly offending behavior.
The judge terminated my parental rights and in my other case would not grant a direct verdict in my favor after the state failed to provide evidence.

Yes. Generally, a judge can preside over two cases, where one is criminal and the other DHS.

Yes, depending on the crime. Juveniles can no longer be sentenced to life without parole in Arkansas. They can still be sent to prison. Having no criminal background helps when negotiating a plea without prison time, if you go to trial and during sentencing, if convicted

This charge is a Class Y Felony. This is the highest felony in Arkansas. Up to %15,000 in fines and 10 to 40 or life in prison. Typically, though, and depending on the charges, an offer of 10 years will usually be made by the prosecutor. A good lawyer might win the case. If not, a lawyer can... Read more »
I have never been in trouble with the law before. The officer told me to just pay my fine and see afterwards if i could get it of my record. He marked it as a traffic offense but not a criminal offense. I am worried because I don't want to lose my job, license or anything. Can someone please... Read more »

It's only a traffic offense. You will not lose your job or license. Go to court and ask the prosecutor to keep this off your record. If it is clean, you might have to pay a few bucks more on the fine but should be able to keep it off your record.
If the Court denies your request to... Read more »

There is not enough information to tell you everything but generally, once a parole reoffends, the PO will revoke his probation and keep him in jail. The parolee now has the new charges and then the revocation. If the new charges are not too bad, the PO will keep him in jail for a month maybe... Read more »

Capital murder is the big one. It's most likely that if he is guilty of capital murder the he is looking at either death or life without parole
I have 2 traffic violations in 2 cities with failure to appears stacked on them now. The reason i didnt pay was because i was termonated from my employer now I have multiple fta's in both city and arrest warrants. I just wanna restart!!
answered on Oct 9, 2017
You need to have an attorney arrange for you to appear in each Court and surrender on the warrants. You may be able to set up a time pay if you are guilty of the underlying offense and plead guilty to them.
If you get stopped by police you may be detained with those warrants outstanding.
And 14 counts of fraudulent use of credit/debut card $100 in 6 months and 2 counts of theft by receiving $2500 or more what kind of sentence is she facing and will she b ordered not to leave the state. And will her bond b high since she is from Louisiana with no ties in Arkansas all felony charges
answered on Oct 5, 2017
I would not venture a guess as to your friends exposure to incarceration without more facts. However, theft by receiving greater than $2,500 value is a class D felony generally. It has a potential for imprisonment for 0-5 years and/or a $10,000 fine.
If she makes bond several factors may... Read more »

The local police stopped him, searched him, found contraband, arrested him. I argued that the agreement did not allow the police to search without a... Read more »

have you charged with credit card fraud?
answered on Sep 22, 2016
They can, but that doesn't mean you will be convicted. If a person loans you a car, they can later say you stole it, too. You should never use another person's credit card, even with permission.
