My fiance has a First Degree Misdemeanor that is a battery touch or strike. He was not able to complete his anger management class and wrote a letter to the judge requesting an extension, there was no response so it was then forwarded to the asst. state attorney. An alert was then issued less then 1 month later. It was a "pick up and commit" issued for 30 days. This Misdemeanor Pick-Up Commitment was issued on 03/06/2003 which is a few years ago and my fiance has taken no further action with the case. I would just like to know what a Pick-Up commitment is?? Is it a warrant for his arrest? How long will this be on his record if he takes no action, and what should he do to clear this up? I know the idea would be to serve the time but is there any other way?? Thank you so much for taking time to help me!
