When she told me her real age, I ended all contact with her. Can I still be charged with a crime?
I am assuming the two of you engaged in some type of sexual relationship. Unfortunately, as the law stands today the answer is yes.

Your lawyer can always request the court to stop the drug testing based on the length of time you have been “clean.”

You have the right to refuse a request to search anytime, anywhere. After any such refusal, law enforcement would have to make the determination if circumstances justified a warrant less search, or if enough evidence existed to obtain a warrant for said search.
I called they told me it was an active warrant but it's from 2007 12 years ago what can I do no bond on the theft of check from 07

No. Bad form, yes but actionable slander, no.
She told me that I was supposed to have called her November the 17th. Of 2019. I did but had to leave a message. I then called her in December and had to leave a message. Will my bond be revoked? I'm scared. This is my first time having a court date to explain as to why I didn't report. My bail... Read more »
Get your criminal defense attorney involved to advocate on your behalf.
The answer is yes. Once you have a warrant for your arrest any police officer who contacts you and is aware of the warrant can arrest you. However, the State that issued the warrant would have to extradite you (pay to have you brought to its jurisdiction). Sometimes, the State will put in its... Read more »
The act was committed entirely because of my mental illness. I was experiencing severe psychosis and depression upon auditory hallucinations. If I was not sick I wouldn't have done it.
Mental Health "defenses" must be established by medical professionals. Talk with your attorney about a psychological exam. Good luck.
