My question involves criminal law for the state of: Arkansas
I hope that I am posting on the right thread and genre.
I just recently came in contact with a family member that I have not seen in years. I have grown close to them again and found out that she has a past in drugs. That include her being fined and given probation. Apparently she skipped out on the last year of probation.

Since we have been in constant contact she has turned her life around. She went to school, rec. her G.E.D and is now trying to get a job for the first time in a long while. She told me the other day that she had never went down to get her Drivers License....she is in her 40's! I could'nt believe it.

I encouraged her to go get it...she went throught the whole thing of doing the test and everything. Then they told her that she could not get it due to it being suspended. How can this be, she wondered..?!

She finally confessed to me that she used to be on probation and due to her not being able to handle it she just stopped going. I told her that was the stupidest thing I have ever heard. "Who, just stops going!"

She swears that she is clean, that she thought that her warrant was over and done with. I am thinking that she still has a warrant out there.

Am I right?
She has been going to Meetings with her husband and has several little badges with I am X number of months sober on them. I think that she is up to a couple of years now. They both are. What does not make any sense to me is that he was on probation at the same time (still is) and almost done and if she skipped out on hers...why did they not make a connection and go and get her for not going to her probation or paying her fines. It is not like they could'nt find her...they are married and everyone knows that they are together, and where they live is no secret to his probation officer.

She told me that she went to some classes to be a certified *** and she has applied but noone has called her back. I think that they ran her background check and that they know that she has a record.
BOTTOM LINE:
I said go turn yourself in and throw yourself at the mercy of the court.
She wont do it, she thinks that getting a lawyer will do something, her improving herself and trying to be a productive member of society will help her get out of all of this. I have a bad feeling about this.
