My question involves criminal law for the state of: South Carolina
My friend was arrested on Sunday, 3-29-09, cause he had a bench warrant issued by probate court in 2005. He was told that Sunday that he will go to court on Monday, but he didn't. I was given false information until this morning. He seems to be not bail eligible. Probate court hasn't scheduled a court day yet. How long can he be kept arrested? His mom is old and sick and needs to be looked after and my friend is her only child. What can I do to help him?
