I was stopped for speeding, informed that I had two outstanding warrants, and arrested for failure to appear from 17 years ago. I was told that I was arrested for passing 2 worthless bank checks. The address on my warrant was an old Post office box I had. To my knowledge I never received the summons (I was 19). I had to pay $750 bond. A month ago I accepted a new job with a LARGE company (in the same state but different city/county). They required a full background screen and passed with no problems. I also had an auto accident a month ago and highway patrol ran my license at that time, again no problem. We returned to the same small town that we previously lived in for the holidays and somehow these warrants appeared!!! How is this possible and what can I do now? I have no proof that I paid these checks since it was 17 years ago.
