When you were first questioned you should have presented this evidence to the police.It might seem suspicious if you alibi came later.You need to take your witness and go to the prosecutor in Ohio.They are the ones who determine if there is enough evidence to obtain a conviction

once you have the judgment get a certified copy and record it in the county where he lives, you can file for a writ of execution to seize property but you will need an attorney for that, also send a copy to credit reporting agencies if you cant get your money at least you can F**k with his credit

Ask the Public Information Officer for the Fort Wayne Police Department in Indiana. Go to http://www.fwpd.org and click on the "discussion forum" link. You can ask any question anonymously and Officer Joyner from the FWPD will answer you within a day or two. Even if your charges aren't from Fort Wayne or Allen County, he will most likely be able to tell you the info you need. It will be more reliable than what you will get here. Or, come back to Indiana and take care of your problems. By the way, probation violations will cause you problems anywhere you go.

it sounds like the local authorities are out to get you (for whatever reason). My recommendation is that you find an out-of-town lawer and call teh FBI to see if tehy will put certain local officials under investigation. People thinkt his kind of underhanded stuff just doesn't happen anymore but I've seen it a million times. You may want to even get an out-of-state lawyer to take the case just in case. If you lose the case and the FBI finds things wrong in the local authorities you may get a chance to get your money back with interest.

Where is your proof? I don't think you have a chance without going to court and having proof.

Yes.  One is usually charged with an infraction BEFORE appearing in Court on said offense.   To be honest, if it is a petty crime, then you may luck out, depending on your level of probation.  If you must report weekly, drug test, etc...then I'd tell my PO.  If you are on unsupervised probation, then you may get away with it.  I am a paralegal and thus, can NOT give legal advice, but these are the option I see.

I am informed that this is not a conviction, but that the offense will show up on a background check for what it is, i.e., with the notation that adjudication was withheld.\n\nHere's a more complete explanation, from http://www.lawyers.com/ask_a_lawyer/q_and_a_archive/view_archive/index.php?QID=21-APR-05&site=537\n\n"Q.  What is "Non-Adjudication? If on probation under this terminology, what happens when taken off probation? \n\n"-- Anonymous"\n\n"A. \n"Non-adjudication refers to a disposition of a criminal case in which no final judgment is entered. It is the same as a withheld adjudication. In some states you are required to admit your guilt to obtain this disposition.\n\n"Either way, you will be given a specific period of time to complete a probation or community service program. There will be conditions attached, for example, you cannot commit another crime and you must pay supervision fees, and perhaps restitution. If your offense involved drugs, you may have to submit to random urinalysis.\n\n"At the end of the time period, if you are in compliance with all of the Court's terms, any guilty plea you entered will be withdrawn and the case against you will be dismissed. You will not have a record of conviction. If you did not enter a guilty plea, the case is simply dismissed.\n\n"In Florida, where you are from, a non-adjudication can occur either with or without a finding of guilt. The Court will consider the likelihood that you will reoffend, along with the welfare of the community, and then either find you to be guilty or withhold the adjudication of guilt. Either way, it will not impose a sentence but place you on probation.\n\n"If you are required to admit your guilt, and you subsequently are found guilty of another crime, a withheld adjudication will count as a prior conviction when the Florida court determines your sentencing guidelines. Thus, it is better to obtain a disposition of your case that does not require you to admit your guilt, if possible."

The warrant was issued to remedy the outstanding worthless checks and is normal proceeding. However, there are some vaibles you left out such as the total dollar ammount of the checks you gave to Wal Mart, and that ammount will determine the seriousness of the offense. Each state has a dollar ammount that divides misdemeanor crimes from felony crimes. \n     The fact that you didn't receive anything in the mail from Wal Mart is irrelevant since you knew the checks were worthless when you gave them to Wal Mart.      \n     Any person charged with a crime in the United States has the right to be represented by an attorney, even if they cannot afford one. The court will appoint an attorney to represent you at no cost to you should you be taken into custody. (Remember your Miranda Rights... "you have the right to remain silent.....")\n      In the mean time, you can contact your public defenders office and seek advice from them. Other resources include legal aide which is usually free advice and web sites such as megalaw.com and findlaw.com. Both have paid and free search engines that cover criminal and traffic laws, plus you can search case law to see what the trend for certain offenses has been in your state. You can also contact the Prosecuting/State's attorneys office direct and talk to them about the situation since they are the ones who represent crime victims and will be the attorneys you will have to face should you find yourself in a courtroom. \n      Finally, you can contact your district/magistrate court and and speak with them about making payment arrangements to take care of the outstanding debt. Some states offer probation before judgement which means they give you an opportunity to make the situation right without going to jail if you have a clean criminal history prior to this offense.\n      Remember, since there is a warrant for your arrest, any officer you come into contact with who runs your license will be made aware of the outstaning warrant. You'll place yourself in a much better light if you turn yourself in versus making the police come and find you.

Doesn't matter if they read your rights or not, that will only get you out of any incriminating statements you made... Do you have a record of any kind?  If not try to get a plea deal for probation and have the charges reduced to disorderly conduct.  What area/city/state are you in?  That makes a big difference too.  If you do get infront of the judge explain how you just graduated and weren't thinking right and you know you made some bad decisions and other crap he wants to hear... and dress nicely...  Theoretically you could get jail time and have your license suspended (in PA 6 mo for posession and another 6-12 for underage alcohol...)  but, like I said, if you have a clean sheet, and your look nice and act nice and make sure the judge knows how sorry you were you should get off with a tap on the wrist... a year or two of light probation and a fine... remember though, if you get stuck with posession it follows you for the rest of you life as a drug conviction, so do whatever to get that reduced...

They are both guilty. As the saying goes, come to court w/ clean hands or the court will leave you as is. So, if I'm the judge, I'll refuse to decide the case. Instead I'll have them both arrested.

Have you been arraigned on this charge?  If the DA is going to file charges then you will need to hire an attorney.  If you can't afford an attorney a Public Defender will be appointed on your behalf.  You will have a Preliminary hearing where the judge will determine if the DA has enough evidence to take the case to trial.  To be convicted a jury must find you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt based on the evidence.\n\nYou have not provided enough information to get an honest opinion of your guilt or innocence and the likelihood of a conviction based on the evidence the authorities have.  You are leaving a lot out of the story.

Its a Felony... Some states vary

Hi Robert,\n\n    I have a criminal record also here in Ohio. Ultimately, it will depend on your offense.  If you can give a little more information, it might help.  Ultimately, if the offense is a "crime of dishonesty", then it cannot be expunged.\n\nChris

Wow, sounds horrifying for you.  Sorry.  First, start gathering evidence, everything you have and can get, to substanciate your accusations.  Also, I believe the Public Defender is protected against hold harmless laws, so maybe you can file a complaint through the District Attorney's office? Start researching this through the state website where you live.  There is much information on each State's site.  Begin researching now before your statute of limitations runs out.\nGood luck to you on this difficult battle my friend.

why'd you have a court appearance? sounds like false arrest under habeus corpus.

I will assume Florida is like Kentucky in that there is no Statute of Limitations on any Felony.  You can be prosecuted any time.

What happened to you was an arrest.  An arrest is like Herpes, not everyone knows it's there, but sooner or later someone is bound to find out.  Your arrest record from PA will stay with you whether Misdemeanor or Felony.  There is no way for anyone to know if this was a felony or misdemeanor arrest.  Most theft classifications are dependent on the dollar amount of the merchandise taken.  Just beceause you were released doesn't mean it wasn't a felony. Most jails wont waste the money to house you if you aren't a serious risk for flight, or a danger to society. Keep something else in mind, a lot of states have laws that say if you are "convicted" of a theft, meaning you have been sentanced for a theft and you commit another one, it is an automatic felony.
