Unfortunately your question is a bit cryptic in that it provides very little details and doesn’t really ask a question, it’s more of a statement. From what I can glean you are worried about getting arrested. If they did not arrest you at Walmart, than they are unlikely to do so after the fact.... View More
Record was expunged and sealed. I'm trying to get arrest and/or court records now but the arresting agency and county clerk of the court have no records. The arrest still shows up on my national background check but without any related charges or court decisions. How can I get that info?
answered on Oct 21, 2021
That was a long time ago. I’m guessing you might have trouble locating your attorney but that’s always the first place to start.

Listed with 3 cops and 1 osbi chemist on my sons information/ criminal cover sheet from when he was arrested
answered on Oct 9, 2021
Your question is a little vague, however if I am understanding your question then basically the state has listed you as a witness (most likely because you were there when he got arrested). Contact some criminal lawyers to have them give you specifics on the case.
Currently incarcerated in Oklahoma and have an outstanding warrant also in Oklahoma. Is it possible to plead guilty and take a plea deal whilst I'm still in prison? There is an additional warrant in Kansas where prison time will be served once this sentence is over
answered on Sep 29, 2021
It’s actually quite common. Many times people are sentenced to prison before they resolve or dispose of other pending felony or misdemeanor charges.

In order for the wire tap to be legal there would have to be a search warrant that set up the specific information be sought. Assuming they have that, then yes it is legal.

There is not one answer as it differs from County to County, and Judge to Judge. There are instances where all judges will allow medical marijuana use during probation except for one.
