What is the name of your state? CA
Just over a year ago I was living in CA and got pulled over for a DUI. I was sentenced to 2 days community service, $1,500 fine, schooling (3 months worth or so) and I was self represented. Shortly thereafter I lost my job due to the conviction.
I was unable to support myself even after finding two new jobs. More pressing matters like my rent, cellphone, child support and cost of living in general where too much for me to pay. Then the dominoes fell, I lost my apartment, car, and my girlfriend. I was basically homeless and still didn't pay any of the restitution or attend any classes (cost for class @$500). I did however sign up for the community service, even they asked me to pay $76 so I can work for free...
I had no choice but to come to Puerto Rico and live with my mother or be put out in the streets of California. It just got really out of control for me. I know I must have a warrant for my arrest.
I'm planning on going back soon and would like to pay what I owe to the state and get this whole thing behind me. What do i need to do once I get to California? Will I be jailed? I don't recall the judge saying I'd be jailed if I don't comply with the sentence...
I'm pretty scared Thanks in advance!
