I was pulled over for exp. registration and my name came back with a felony theft of prop. warrant, they took me to the jail and gave me a citation for court the next day. I appeared in "proable cause court" and the judge sentenced me to jail. I have never been in trouble. I bonded out with a bondsman. I have been on bail for 90 days.

I've lost my job and my life is being destroyed I am trying to find help but I keep getting tunred away because I went to pull my record from the county clerks office she told me that the DA hasn't opened a case against me yet that she has 30-90 days the 90 days will hit on May 7th. I went to the sheriffs office to pull the arrest record, it shows I was arrested but the reason/charge is blank.

So I called the DA's office she says she doesn't have a case on me. So I went to the public defenders and he told the Asst. to call the court house because I have to have a record of first appearance well I don't she said that there is no record I even attended court or needed to attend court.

My bondsman tells me thats a lie that I have prelimary charges and that I am felon and is treating me as such.

The issue is that the bondsman took my passport because I was on bond. My husbands immigration interview came up April 11th and we were told that the only thing missing was we didn't register our marriage so my husband pulled all the strings he could and got a 5 month process shortened to about 20 days, but they need me to find the nearest lebanese embassy which is in Alabama and sign a power of attorney for his aunt in Lebanon to be able to act on my behalf and sign me into the registry,

the bigger problem is that I need my passport because it has my ex-married last name on it (after a year waiting on the divorce I planned my wedding a month after and it would have taken too much time to get it changed) So my marriage license has my ex-married last name on it. I changed my DL and SS card back to my maiden name and was going to change my passport later.

The bondsman at first was going to give me my passport but then changed her mind and said i am a flight risk. I have never been in trouble and I offered her 2 car titles, told her i'd wear an ankle monitor, she could put me on the no fly list whatever she needed I just needed to get the paper signed because my husbands 2nd interview is may 28th. She told me no. Accused me of being a felon.

A friend of mine had her FBI friend look into this and he says he can't see where I have any prelimary charges or pending charges I am like a ghost. So i am wondering if I have nothing on me anywhere then how can they still make me stay on bond. The public defender said they have a year to keep me on bond legally.

How is this legal.

My whole life is being ruined and I might lose the chance to reunite with my husaband when I am innocent and the state apparently has nothing on me. I can't get an attorney becasue they told me with out a case number there is nothing they can do. I am so depressed, all I do is cry and its getting harder to get out of bed everyday. No on in this state has answers. I am in Union county arkansas.

Allow me to suggest you HIRE an attorney to represent your interests.

Don't waste your time seeking what you PRESUME to be free LEGAL advice. All you're doing is burning daylight.

You should begin making FREE appointments with CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS in and near the town/city/village/county where you reside.

If you continue to flail your arms into the hostile winds of criminal charges, you COULD get swept up into it's sewage system a d trapped for a very long time.

Monday morning, heck start after you've read this suggestion, calling nearby criminal defense attorneys and begin the process of getting the angry crime gorilla off your back.

Maybe these sites can offer you a glimmer of hope.

PS: It often happens where one immigrant from country XXXXX steals and uses the identity of her/his fellow emigrees to commit crimes and not tarnish her/his name, rather DESTROY the name of his/her unsuspecting countrymen/countrywomen!!!!








This is a link to Lebanese Consulate in Texas:





 
This might be the start of your criminal law troubles.

Let your attorney know.

Also, STOP discussing any of this mess with anyone but criminal defense attorneys.

Once you've chosen one to represent you, ONLY speak about this with THAT attorney.

Otherwise don't discuss this mess with ANYONE, your husband is the ONLY EXCEPTION because of "spousal privilege", but your spouse should discuss this with YOU, as in ONLY YOU!!!
