I sent my ex boyfriend to jail and now I feel bad?
Let me start by saying, YOU DID NOT SEND YOUR EX B/F TO JAIL you called the police because of domestic violence and they found that he had several warrants out for his arrest. If the two of you had been stopped by the police, they would have hauled him off to jail anyway. I would go down and get an order of protection, of course he does have his clothes at your house and will need to retrieve that and what ever else he has there so make arrangements with the police to be on site when he comes by. Try to keep your EX-EX out of the picture, I think by now he would probably want to kill this guy and no good can come of them meeting face to face again. You learned that this guy has killed kittens, are you aware that most serial killers have a history of killing animals, FOR FUN!!. This is not a guy you want in your life and I pray that you are not pregnant by him because if you are you will have to deal with him for the next 18 years. This brings up another issue, regarding the child, he likely will be allowed to have visitation, it is up to you to see to it that his visitation is supervised. You need to bring up all of his past events to convince the courts that he can not be trusted alone with the child. Imagine what he might do if he were to get mad at his own child. You MUST get an order of protection against this guy. If not he will be at your door every day and making your life miserable. The order will not necessarily keep him from doing so, but it then only takes one phone all and he will be picked up by the police. Do it for your own sanity and for your own safety. You DO NOT know for a fact that he would not try to kill you, his very actions of slamming your head on the ground and choking you proves that he is violent. You talk to your land lady, you will find out that I am telling you the truth.
Can you get arrested for unpaid medical bills?
An officer from the sheriff's department just showed up at my door to serve my dad, technically for unpaid medical bills. The officer said if he didn't show up for court there would be a warrant for his arrest. Apparently this would be "disguised" as being in contempt of court. When the truth is it's for unpaid hospital bills. I'm assuming the collections agency filed a law suit for small claims court, sent a letter (or not) that required him to show up to court. He was in the hospital at this time so we did not receive this first request to appear in court. Now if he doesnt appear this time, he'll be arrested. My dad is on oxygen, can hardly walk around, just has a ton of medical problems. Not only that but my family barely gets by each month. We will not be able to pay these bills. We would barely be able to pay 20-40 dollars a month towards this debt. What is going to happen in that court room? How can this shitty state of Kansas get away with this? When we lived in Texas we would get medical bills in the mail, For the 20 years we lived there. Never did an officer appear at our door though. So it seems that yes, you can go to jail for unpaid medical bills. One way or another. Contempt of court. whatever they call it. You're going to jail for being sick and not wealthy. Am i seeing this the wrong the way?
What happens when you get a bench warrant?
used from: What to Do When Facing a Bench WarrantA bench warrant is an arrest warrant that is ordered by a judge against the defendant in a criminal case or a similar proceeding such as for a traffic ticket. A bench warrant is typically issued in the case of a failure to appear for trial, sometimes abbreviated “FTA.” The “bench” is the traditional term for the judge's seat.In serious criminal cases, a failure to appear will most likely lead to a “regular” arrest warrant, which would spur immediate attempts to find and jail the defendant. A bench warrant, on the other hand, usually does not mean the police will be at your door the next morning. But, your name will go into a statewide computer system that serves the entire law enforcement community. Once your name is in the database, if you have to deal with the police for any reason – even resulting from an incident that was not your fault, such as someone hitting your car from behind – you will be taken into custody for the outstanding bench warrant.Once you are taken into custody, you will have to post bail before you can be released. Typically, bail on a bench warrant for failure to appear will be enough to cover the fines and court costs for both the original offense and the FTA. Then, you'll get a new court date.If you know that there is a bench warrant out for your arrest, you can usually call either the clerk of the court or the local police department and arrange to come in and pay the bail so that the warrant will be recalled. You should find out, when you call, what kinds of payments they will accept, since a paper check is almost always not good enough, and not all localities are able to take credit cards.If you had posted bail before the missed court date, that money has almost certainly been forfeited at this point. If you had a very good reason why you weren't at the court on time and didn't call, you might be able to persuade the judge into letting you get that bail back, or at least having it credited against your fines and costs. Naturally, having an experienced criminal lawyer arguing on your behalf during this process will show the judge not only that you take the charges against you seriously, but also that you are genuinely contrite about your failure to appear.
When does a warrant go away?
1. Do warrants ever go away? Yes after the person is arrested. 1A. If part of your judgement or plea agreement required attending shoplifting classes, failure to comply with all the terms will result in a warrant for your arrest for "contempt of court". 1B. Will failure to honor a court summons for a misdemeanor charge of no insurance and speeding, result in a warrant? Yes, and a driver's license suspension 2. Can you mom sentence your boyfriend to juvenile detention? No 3.If you comply with the terms of your judgement or plea bargain and your boyfriend honors the court summons that he signed there will not be a warrant issued for your arrests. 3A. As you are planning your life together on the streets: A few extra questions: --The economy is terrible right now, do either you or your boyfriend have any marketable skills to allow you to obtain a good job? -- Are you planning on obtaining health insurance, once you leave your mother's insurance? As you can imagine having a baby is very expensive. -- Have you saved up enough money to put a deposit on a home or apartment to rent? -- Have you obtained a mailing address to have your bills delivered? Or is your cell phone pre paid. If your boyfriend's driver's license is suspended will your new apartment be located close to mass transit and the hospital? In my experience in talking with runaway kids, they fail to plan very far ahead - and their quality of life decreases from living at home with a strict parent. It also tends to diminish your potential for success later in life. Please think carefully about the life changing decision you are about to make.
Can you get in trouble if someone in your house has a warrant?
I was just wondering whether or not you can go down with a criminal with a warrant out for his arrest if he is caught in your house. I feel as though I have heard this before, for lack of better terms, "housing a criminal." My uncle insists on telling me nothing can happen to the ones without a warrant. Does anyone know? Thank you so much!!
