What is the name of your state? Arizona but I live in Texas now
I appologize right off as I don't have every document in front of me, I am trying to locate them, and I think that some of them may be in a storage unit back in AZ. Here's is what I have, and I appologize for the short story.
Back in 2004 I was a College student in Northern Arizona where I had a run of bad luck, I got stuck with a DUI where I was clearly not intoxicated however, could not afford a 3rd party lawyer, I ate the bullet and took the DUI (I 'think' it was no contest), I was sentanced to serve 1 day in jail and pay a fine plus the usual DMV stuff. Also around that time I was in a situation where I was removing a firearm from an intoxicated person not long after. The firearm was discharged (accidentally, safely, and without incident) it just so happened that the police were already next door dealing with something else :/ So you can picture the ensuing disaster. I was charged with no-contest misdomeanor disorderly conduct involving a dangerous instrument, sentanced to a fine, community service, a term of unsupervised probation, and the firearm class was dismissed due to my previous involvement with the military.
For my DUI I served my jail time. Aside from that it is now 2 years later, I have not had a drivers liscence, I have not been in trouble for anything else, I have graduated from college, I am taking my masters, and preparing to start a VERY outstanding career. I know what I did was unacceptable and illegal, I had no choice, I had no income, no help, no family, nothing. I could not afford the fines, I could not afford to lose a semester of schooling for jail time especially when my semesters cost me 32K ea. in loans, I had already lost any chance of flying professionally in or out of the military due to the DUI. I shut up, finished school, and moved. I am now in a situation where I realize I may have consequences but want to take care of this.. I have not completed the alcohol class for the DUI, my period of no drivers liscence is long since past (DMV ruling), I have not paid fines for either of these, and not finished the community service for the Disorderly.
I can find state approved community service to be done here in Texas, I can afford the fines paid in full, and I can accomplish an alcohol/drug class/screening. I'm not an alcoholic, I'm not a wanton criminal, I don't walk around with a sidearm, I was just a college kid who got screwed.
Where do I begin, what do I do. I can't afford to go back to AZ and I'm afraid that because of all of this they might want me to be extradited, I wouldn't be able to live like that, anything that is left of my life that I could possibly stand on now and succeed and put this in the past would be completely shattered leaving me with zero.
I would graciously accept and help or suggestions..
