Turning yourself in at a police station

What is the name of your state? KY

I was just wondering what is the main difference in turning yourself in from being UA at a civilian police station Vs. at a Recruiting station or base?

I know once you get to the police station they are more than likely going to call Military authorities......once they get there are we going to fly back or drive?

Do I request that I want a JAG lawyer when I turn myself into civilian authorities, so that they can tell the chasers that come and apprehend me?

How long will I be at the police station?

Thank You all!

It would be better for you to turn youself in to military control versus civilian.

Why is that? I mean I don't have the money to get back to my base, but I know I have to turn myself in. Even if I came up with the money to buy a plane ticket....wouldn't they just catch me at the airport when I check in or check my bags?

I know that I would have to wait a couple extra days in civilian control while the military chasers got there...is that the only bad thing?

Thank You!

Try a recruiting station, some of the disgraces that post here talk about doing that and receiving a tax dollar trip to take care of their business.

Very well. If you do mind sitting around in a civilian jail untill the military gets around to picking you up then go for it.

I don't think they will let you turn yourself in untill you have a federal warrant issued for your arrest though.

You can turn yourself in to any military installation. They will pay for your return. It is not military policy to make turning yourself in difficult.

From my understanding I already have a federal felony warrant issued for my arrest, I am not sure how do go about finding out for sure, but that is what the people that called my home said. I have been UA/Deserter for almost 6 months. Not really a deserter because I intend on going back.

I heard that no matter where I turn myself in it can take the chasers atleast a couple days to pick me up, so if I was to go to a recruiting station, where would they hold me because they are not open 24hrs a day?

The police station would hold you (usually around 3 days) until the chasers came, the recruiter's office or a reserve unit would print you orders (most likely to Quantico) that day.

You need to look up the definition of a deserter. Any member that has been UA/AWOL more than 30 days or less, if it is apparent they are not planning to return, is considered a deserter.
