What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oklahoma
Hi all. Here is my situation and any help or advice would be appreciated.
Today I went to the county courthouse to pick up a letter for my employer. While I was there they informed me that I had 3 warrents for my arrest, issued in March of this year(2012), for failure to pay traffic tickets received in 1995, 1997 and 2002 to the tune of $584. The court clerk demanded that I provide proof of payment, pay something or be arrested on the spot. I had $73 which I gave her in order for her to put me on the next traffic docket (Fri) and let me leave without arrest. She would not rescind the warrents but rather told me to watch out for police until Friday. I have no doubt these were paid in full years ago but I have no records from back then. I have had other dealings with their offices in 2000 and 2005 and these were not mentioned then. Is this legal? If so how? How can I possibly prove I paid these? What in the heck can I do about this?
TIA for any help.... !!!!!!!!!
