An active warrant can be resolved by (1) appearing in front of a judge and trying to get it set aside, (2) turning yourself in, or (3) getting picked up on it, so the answer to your question is yes.
Are there grounds for filing a case against the 21 year old. The 21 year old also exposed her to the Pagen religion and we believe alcohol. She met this individual at work, are their any consequences to the employer?

(3) It is illegal to provide alcohol to a person under the age of 21. (4) The employer has nothing to do with it. So, if there's evidence he is supply drugs or... Read more »
I plead no contest to a f4 attempt to commit an offense. I served 6 months for it 3 years probation. Now theyre trying to charge me with an f2 felonious assault. Is this possible?
We would need a bit more information to analyze whether or not there is a double jeopardy issue here but generally you can be charged with more than one offense out of a situation if each offense has a separate element or part.

Theft was for two sleeves of golf balls which contain 3 balls in each sleeve for a total of 6 golf balls. Retail cost of two sleeves is probably about a total of $30 dollars.
Theft for this low of an amount is called petty theft, but it is a first-degree misdemeanor for which the maximum penalties are $1,000.00 and six months in jail. Of course, with this being a first offense the maximum penalties are not a probable outcome, but it is possible that the court could... Read more »

Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local family law attorney to prepare and file as a divorce. That does not need her to sign. The divorce process will proceed whether or not she participates.
Yes, though it’s not really likely. In Ohio 16 is the age of consent, but the law concerning contributing to the delinquency of a minor is quite vague. He’s certainly on the hook for child support.
In terms of complying with random drug testing.
None. Marijuana remains a schedule 1 substance under federal law. Probation can require that you abide by all laws.
