Take care of it..
Trust me... I had restitution that I never paid in 1992, and a bench warrant was issued in 1994 for me... I had NO idea because I was living in New York City, and they chose not to come that far to get me. I moved back home last year because of a suicide in my family, and about 6 months ago I was hauled off to jail for 24 hours because of this OLD warrant!!! I didn't even know I had to pay restitution for my case, and my county knew very well where I was because I was working, paying taxes and had a valid driver's license during the whole time. It was the most humiliating thing to get handcuffed in front of your neighbors and thrown in a jail cell all because of an 11 year old warrant!!! It was so old that the issuing judge had RETIRED! and the county probation office that was handling the collection of the restitution didn't even know what my boyfriend was talking about when he went to tell them I was next door in jail on their warrant. They had to get out archived files to find it!
Just call the issuing county and find out what you can do to make it right. Believe me... if you don't you could find yourself as I did!
