My aunt has an out of state WARRANT, she got a DUI in a little town in North Carolina three years ago while visiting a friend. She swears to God, she wasn't drunk & I believe her. She is just not that big of a drinker. She did get a DUI when she was 18 yrs old over 22 years ago, so that is on her record.
They threw her in jail... she got her butt kicked by other inmates who kept calling her "california white girl" & they kept intentionally bumping into her and then punching her in the face saying she bumped into them. (When I saw her a week later, she looked like she got hit by a truck). When she finally got around to getting a court appointed attorney, the attorney he got her out OR, then advised her to plead guilty, said that it would be 'timed served", so she did what he suggested.... next thing the judge ruled "2 years" in jail & for my aunt to report to jail on a certain date. She never reported to jail... & I am sure has a WARRANT in No Carolina.
What can she do?

At this point she probably has a fugitive warrant on top of the DUI sentence. I recommend hiring a NC attorney and trying to work out some sort of deal. I don't know is NC would seek extradition in this case, but I would not want to find out the hard way.

Hire a good lawyer if she can afford to if not turn herself in and beg for mercy, not showing up to serve a sentence in some jurisdiction is considered escape, North carolina would probably extradite and if she is picked up in any state she will be taken to NC and stand trial again for escape, could get a lot more time!~!

So she is 40? Only one thing to do. Hire a lawyer in NC and appear in court. Leave out the whole beating thing as proving that now is worthless and will make her sound bad.
