Re: Keeping a convicted felon out of my house
It would appear that this person has a warrant for his or her arrest. Notify the police of the location of this person and they will be arrested. Providing this person with a home may be considered as aiding and abetting them in eluding arrest. You could be placing yourself in danger of being arrested if you do nothing. If the person is arrested you would not need the restraining order. Just appear in court and tell the judge you do not want the person to return to your home.
