What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
A friend was pulled over back in 2004 for a burned out headlight. The cop smelled booze on him, so took him to the hospitol for a test, so we assume there was also a DUI charge. He moved shortly afterward, and never recieved any paperwork (and stupidly just ignored it). He believes there is a bench warrant on him, and I'm trying to talk him into dealing with this because it is ruining his life.
I went to the Clerk of Courts office, and NO mention of this incedant shows on his record. I asked the worker 3 times if there is a warrant on him, and she said NO. She explained that if there was a warrant, a red W would show up.
There is NO police record, no hearing info, or anything.
When I told my friend this, he insisted that I call the Sheriff's Dept**************..they say YES there IS a warrant. I asked the worker why it didn't show up at the Clerk of Courts, and he didn't know.
How do I find out for sure who is right?? Something just doesn't seem right here.
