What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
Earlier tonight my husband and I went to our local police department to file harassment charges against his ex wife. While we were there, they notified us that my husband had a bench warrant issued back in early 2003 for aggravated harassment. Allegedly from a former coworker. They took him into custody and refused to let him go until tomorrow when he goes before a judge for bail. He was never notified of any court hearing. If he had, he would have gone. Why would they just let this sit for almost 4 yrs? Why wouldn't they have notified him. They told me that the desk sargent could set his bail since it was nothing major. But they are keeping him overnight. He has lived at the same address for longer and been at the same employer so they would have been able to notify him. What can he expect at his court appearance? I don't know if they even allowed him to call our family attorney. I tried but was unable.
