I was arrested in 1983 for driving on a suspended licence (for not paying traffic citations) in the state of maryland. After not appearing in court, a bench warrant was issued for me. After paying for all related citations, I called States Attorneys office (Charles County) and was told warrant was invalidated due to its age but that it was still active. I wrote a letter asking if they would close my case, but the judge refused to look at it until I returned to court and paid 500.00 to re-open the case and to set a new trial date. I live over 800 miles from MD. and am currently unable to aquire drivers licence in the state I reside, due to this situation.
This is killing me becouse I have a family to support and Im also in school.
Will they re-arrest me if the case is re-opened? Will I have to go back a second time to appear for the new trial or is it likely this can be taken care of in one trip? What can I do to take care of this in the least time consumming and efficient way possible. Please help me get this monkey off my back!
