Not sure of your question... But if you are wanting to file a civil case based on the same incident, then hire a lawyer to file the action before the SOL runs. Apparently negligence per se will not assist your possible suit.

There is no time limit. Was a Bond set? If too high, a motion to reduce bond could be made, and sometimes unusual requirements are issued in conjunction with a lower cash bond. Apparently an Arrest Warrant was already executed, so SOL is not running on charge.

You do not have to respond at all. Do not let your curiosity control you. LEOs are not trying to talk to you for your health. Do not talk to anyone about this, and it may be a good time for a new phone.
Be ready to hire a competent attorney.

You voluntarily admitted to crimes prior to even being arrested, so Miranda is not going to help you. Hire an attorney to possibly getting the charges Diverted, Dismissed and Expunged. Convictions will mess up your life, especially if Felonies.

Every County Court does things a little different from other Counties. It appears that the Probation/Parole Officer has asked the Court to dismiss the Violation of Probation Warrant previously issued. Your attorney should be able to find out from the Court Clerk or the DA.

That would be a GTLA suit which few lawyers know how to file. It appears that you do not have any damages, so I do not recommend filing suit.

Going back to prison and serving the Sentence. Hire an attorney and demand a hearing on the revocation. Only a violation is needed, but with enough medical proof, you might stay on parole.

If it is a felony charge, extradition is a certainty. If a misdemeanor charge is made, it is doubtful.
Consult with a MS criminal attorney.
The judge did not render this “infamous”.

No but you might be able to petition Circuit Court to restore some rights such as voting. The Court might overlook the fact of another jurisdiction issuing the Judgment. You will need a copy of your conviction and hire an attorney.

It sounds like your Judgment has some errors in it. Talk to your lawyer. He probably needs to ask the Judge to amend his Judgment to the correct Sentence.

If a LEO observed a Rule of the Road violation, he has a 1 year SOL to initiate the charge. So you may or may not get charged.

Double Jeopardy would attach to any empanelment of two sets of jurors. But you will have to initially respond to both charges. Your lawyer will want to look at both State's charges, and potential penalties, and then move to dismiss one of them. It would usually be the latest one.
