    Default Harassing Communications

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Arkansas
    Hello I am 23 no previous records not even a traffic ticket. I made a terrible decision one night and a friend of a friend called the local police. I told the officer everything that happened and he put it in his report he took all my information that day and said he would be in contact if anything changed. He never contacted me after that phone call. I am facing Harassing Communication charges even though we settled our disagreement outside of court and she called to have the charges dropped. This was in December 2015, unknowing to me the police contacted her and told her they were still pressing charges against me and put a warrant out for my arrest. They told her if she told me she would be in contempt. I got pulled over in May 2016 and arrested for the warrant. I never knew I was wanted or I would have turned myself in months ago. I only found out she knew about the warrant when a friend picked me up after I paid my bail. I want to know what the likely hood of my punishment would be? Jail time vs a fine community service classes and probation.

    Here's the statute for harassing communications:

    http://www.womenslaw.org/statutes_de...34#statute-top

    It's a Class A misdemeanor subject to a fine of up to $2,500 and up to one year in jail.

    It is SERIOUS.

    I suggest you get yourself a criminal defense lawyer right now.
