I am currently on probation in Arizona for a Marijuana violation (I had violated this probation last year but was bonded out of jail) I a currently in good standings with my probation officer and have been complying with all of courts requirements. Well I was checking out my court records online when I noticed a new Forgery charge from this year.
See about 8 months ago (when I was absconding from my probation and had a warrant out) I was pulled over in my boyfriends truck and when he asked for my license I told him I didn't have one. I explained to him that the only reason I was even driving was to take my boyfriend to the emergency room (which was true) cause without insurance the cost of an ambulance is ridiculous. When they arrested me for having no ID I gave him my friends name and information (I knew her information because previous to this she had sold me her old ID and the use of her name since at the time I had a warrant out and was staying in hotels). I figured since I had been in the system before that I would probably just get busted as soon as they fingerprinted and photographed me. Well I was wrong – I'm sitting there waiting for them to tell me they knew who I really was and the next thing I knew, they were releasing me.
Now I know that I hadn't gotten off that easy and that there would be repercussions later. She had had a suspended license so she owed about $600 in traffic tickets and was given a court date. I didn't want my friend to get a warrant for me going to jail so I told her all about the arrest and even gave her ALL the money to pay the ticket off. Come to find out she kept the $600 and appeared before the judge and turned me in! Now I have an arrest warrant (a grand jury indictment) nonetheless, a class 4 felon in this state.
To make a long story even longer – Currently on probation with a warrant out for felony forgery, I called the court and they said I could quash the warrant next Thursday with a walk-in court date. Will they really quash the warrant and give me a future arraignment date, or will they arrest me on the spot? What kind of sentence could I be facing with the forgery and the probation violation?
