What do you mean posted? And what is the charge? Some crimes have no statute of limitations. Have you ever been served with a warrant? It’s possible to have the warrant recalled after that long. We need more details in order to advise you better.
This depends greatly on the jurisdiction and status of the case; most (if not all) municipal courts will not have warrants available on line and not all warrants are available before they are served. If the warrant was issued for a District or Circuit Court case, the warrant may be available in the... Read more »
In Alabama
Being a class B felony, Escape 1st carries a sentence of 2 to 20 years for a first offense. If the convicted has any prior convictions for class A, B, or C felonies, the State could invoke the Habitual Offender Act and the range of punishment would change accordingly. However, a sentence of less... Read more »
Alabama Rules of Criminal Procedure 7.3(b)(5)
First offense. Charges with obscene material. if the prosecutor will not drop the charges can I exhaust other options such as those listed above?
A criminal lawyer can definitely argue to attempt to persuade the prosecutor to allow PTI/PTD. That’s not an argument that you should make yourself. Get a lawyer and quickly.
Once above program is paid will I only have to pay restitution? Or will I have to continue paying the monthly supervision fee, and drug screening fee?
Yes, you still need to report to the probation officer you are assigned to and continue to drug screen as well as comply with the all the other aspects of the program until you graduate the program and are told by the court that you are done.
I have been charged with possession of paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and a class c felony of chemical endangerment of a child due to having bongs and pipes and marijuana.
Probably not, but you certainly could. You need to immediately retain a criminal lawyer.
I am sorry but I would need more information to provide a substantive answer to this question. Both participants would be juvenile, so any charges would likely be filed in the juvenile court. However, the facts of the incident could change that. For example, if there was a serious physical... Read more »
I have a permit to conceal carry and would like to purchase a handgun soon. But I am unaware if I can get in trouble because a felon stays the night at my house sometimes. I also can lock my bedroom door from the outside with a key, so when I am at work, it wont be accessible.

This is my second time I messed up my PO
The short answer is yes. Nothing in the law states that you have to go to prison. It is up to the Judge and what he/she thinks is necessary. But, just because you don't half to go to prison doesn't mean that you won't. The longer you stay in "escape status" (meaning that... Read more »

No the age of consent in Alabama is 16. She is still considered a child until she turns 16.
They have to have an Order or release from the judges office before they let him out. Call the judges office and request they send it to the jail.
It’s still a traffic citation, driving without first obtaining a license, however it would be handled through juvenile court because the minor is 11. Also is this a situation of a parent letting a child sit in his/her lap and teaching them to drive a car in their driveway or pasture, or is it a... Read more »
My boyfriend set it up so that his child support payments are deducted from his paycheck directly to Alabama DHR from day 1. We have every single pay stub from when it started. The kids are now 5 and prior to her putting him on the two boys lived with him. A few months ago we took her to court due... Read more »
You need to answer a few questions. Prior to him paying when they turned one, was mom on assistance? If she received any payments from the state of Alabama for assistance without a child support order, the state of Alabama can collect it if an order of support is ever entered. This is probably what... Read more »
My court appointed drug testing and classes are done by a girl I went to school with and she refused to see me for over a year now also my lawyer hasn’t been in court and many other mess ups on the courts part
If you’ve pled out already, the case is likely over, if it is a misdemeanor. If this is a major crime, there might be Rule 32 Relief available. To get to the bottom of that, you’d need to retain a criminal defense lawyer that can more easily go over the facts than we can be done on this forum.
But wouldn't have done it if he wasn't in a active addiction and has been wanting to go in to a long term rehabilitation Facility 9 months to 1 year
Then, based on their history, there may be diversion programs available that would allow them to complete cases to have the case dismissed, but you should contact and hire a criminal lawyer immediately
6-06-18 was the date. A warrant was issued after that and she has been in jail since January 28, also doesn't owe restitution or fines
That’s far outside the scope of any help that can be provided on a forum like this. A criminal lawyer can help you unmuddy those waters.
Generally, it seems like there is some other charge holding him.

When they finally showed us the warrent The search warrant was for his address and the description of the trailer was not my trailer, but they searched my house and seized all my firearms.
