Sure, most jobs aren’t going to do a warrant check. But the better route would be to work to clear the warrant.

You get an attorney. There will be an attorney prosecuting you. Don’t fight this battle alone. It won’t be a fair fight.

Presumably you have the implied consent license revocation from your first DWI on your record. But you certainly need an attorney to address this issue along with all the other issues that accompany a DWI case.

This is already a bad situation. Don't compound it by falsely claiming that the vehicle was stolen. That isn't going to make things better and likely could result in additional charges for not only hit & run, but also for falsely reporting a crime. The likelihood of getting out of... View More

I would expect that a probation and a judge would give extensions for this reason, but in the end would require the time to be served in jail.
