If there is a warrant for your arrest you need to find out through law enforcement. You can either wait until the warrant is served on you and you are arrested, which I don�t recommend, or you can hire an attorney and self-surrender. You should contact a lawyer and have them contact the local sheriff�s office to ascertain if there is indeed a warrant for you. Your lawyer then can communicate with law enforcement to discuss the warrant and potential charges. Further, if you are being harassed by a particular police officer your lawyer should contact the officer�s precinct and send a cease and desist letter to the officer�s Sergeant.

This information is general in nature only, does not constitute legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
