What to o if I got a warrant put out for my arrest for a failure to appear after the county clerk told me that there were no charges against me?
I had got a charge for minor visibly intoxicated and went to the court date that I was set to go to. However, when I got there the clerk told me that the charges did not exist and that I did not need to be at court for the charges since there were none. Today I checked my record and I have a warrant out for my arrest for a failure to appear. What should I do? Is there anyway to get out of it?
