My question involves criminal law for the state of: NC and MA
sorry this is so long but any advice would be greatly appreciated
So here is my situation I got caught shoplifting in Walmart the other day while Ive been living in NC.. I got caught stealing about $50 worth of arts and crafts to make in memory necklaces and bracelets for a friends and her family for someone who had recently died in a car crash.....
I'm from MA and Ive been in NC for about 8 months ... right before i had came here i had a shoplifting charge for stealing food/sub from a store (i know pretty petty but i was homeless and didn't have any money to eat so when i got caught the cops summons me to court and since i wasn't living anywhere at the time just jumping around i told the officer to send the letter with the court date to my old address and i was never told when the letter came with my court date from old roommate... So i have a warrant for that.. when i had called a court house in MA i was told I had 3 warrants..
im guessing i have one for check fraud maybe because this "friend" of mine lied and BS me .. he had a check and ask me if i could cash it cause he didn't have his license on him.. this "friend" owns 2 houses and has his own electrical company. He always had alot of money so i trusted him ..He told me His company partner was out of town and he pulled out a check that was his partners and wrote it out for 1600$ .. you mite be thinking im stupid but he was very manipulating and told me before they always borrow money of each other when needed. So we go to the bank and the banker ask to see my ID then told me the check wouldn't go threw but they must of knew the check was not right probable cause he wrote it out to cash and not MY name. He even made a fake phone call in front of me acting like he was talking to his partner and he said "ok well ill just write it out to cash and not his name cause he doesn't work for us. I couldn't believe this so called friend would do something like this to me. come to find out he had been in dept and had a very bad addiction to Oxycontin that he had been hidding from people for over a year..The bank gave me the check back and i still have it with his handwriting on it. He had ended up going to jail for a few months after this for theft... But were im from the cops probably wont believe me . But i really was coned into this whole thing 100%
so about 2 weeks after this happened i had moved down to NC with my mom because my life just wasnt going to well and my mother has heath problems and figured i would come down to NC for a while. people started calling me about a week after being down here that cops are looking for me about this check and i have warrants. Im almost positive I didn't have any warrants issued till i was already here. (I flew down here to NC with no problems at the airport) ..there is a possibility i may have another shoplifting charge on top of it because i was told i had 3 warrants in MA
then just a few months ago i was pulled over in NC for a license plate tag. I got 2 warnings then ended up getting a court date i missed!!!. i didn't even know what the hell a tag was we don't have them in MA ( i thought it was just like an inspection sticker) But my license has been ran by cops about 4 times in NC and My warrants in MA never show up..
When they run my name they have not said anything about missing court here either and i thought i would have a bench warrant. Im just worried as hell as i have a few different server anxiety disorders along with depression
The Thing is when i go to court in a couple months For the shoplifting at Walmart a couple days ago that they are going to see my warrants in MA and already missing a court date down here for he tag.. Its all going to show up and blow up at once and look really really bad. Probably going to want to extradite me : (
I do have a little record but have not been in trouble for a few years. I have driving on a suspended license 2 times, destruction of property,prescription of klonopin without my bottle but that got dropped in court.. and one time it was a wrog place at the wrong time i showed up at a friends house and didn't know a kid had 4 ounces of weed right behind him while 6 friends were playing poker and i just got there and the kid it belonged to would not fess up to it so we all 6 of us got charged with it and all got 6 months probation
i know NC the laws and penalty's are a lot worst then in MA ... in MA they give you a slap on the hand and down here the throw people in jail for anything
Questions...
Can the state of North Carolina do anything about warrants in MA im sure there misdemeanors?
Will all this show up in court even though when ever my name is ran by police nothing shows up?
could NC charge me for warrants in a different state and use them against here and make me do time here?
Do you think i should go back to MA and clear up my warrants because the court system isnt as strict as here down south?
... its just i would feel awful for my disabled mother that needs me But i think either way im going to jail : (
