PC M647(B) M DISORDERLY CONDUCT
ROSTITUTION 03/03/2000 ACTIVE
I was arrested & charged with soliciting a prostitute (cop), in March of 2000. I plead Not Guilty instead of just paying the $50 fine.
This took place a few hours drive from my home. And I missed the first court date, warrant issued, showed up, represented myself, didn't show up, another warrant, showed up,,on and on..
I acquired a Public Defender in 2003, at last, all he said was show up on time for the trial date and he assured me they would be dismissing the case.
I showed up exactly 5 lousy minutes late. Sat in court until recess and asked the court admin. if my name was called and said it was called first, and that they issued a warrant. And said I'd have to come back another day to take care of it.
So, here we are 2008, I haven't been back, was pulled over the other day for traffic infraction and they said I still have an outstanding warrant in that county. They let me go, and said it won't go away and to take care of it.
Question: Is there any time limit on a Misdemeanor?
and if not, should i just go down there and turn myself in?
I have no arrest record, convictions anything on my record. Well except the above.
Thanks,,,,,,,What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
