I have an outstanding warrant for my arrest in Virginia dating back to 8/24/2007. I have been completely unaware that this warrant existed. I currently am unemployed and have been unemployed for almost 9 months now. I have been rejected for a number of good jobs in my field (I can provide documentation of this) because I am unable to pass a simple background check. I also failed to receive an interim security clearance I needed for a government job I was offered so I was unable to start and subsequently the offer was pulled. The fact that I was denied the clearance will make it very hard to receive a clearance in the future so I have been essentially eliminated from that pool of jobs. I found the warrant after I requested my own FBI record to see why I was getting rejected so much.
I called the Sheriff's Office to see what I needed to do to resolve this issue. I was told I either had to turn myself in so I could be served and appear before a magistrate. If I was living in Virginia right now I would have already turned myself in, but currently I reside in Atlanta, Georgia. It would be very difficult to travel there to resolve this issue, especially considering my extended unemployment and lack of money.
The charge in question was filed by my older brother (who happens to be bigger than me). It says on the FBI record "INTIMATION - includes STALKING". It is totally ridiculous because my brother was mad at me at the time (which he currently isn't) and I have no idea why he chose to drag police into it and never tell me (I was never contacted at all or arrested). The fact that when I apply for a job and they see I am wanted for "intimidation" and "stalking" is making my life extremely difficult.
What can I do to resolve this without having to go there and turn myself in. Can't they withdraw the warrant? Does it ever expire?
