Hire an attorney to investigate. IF someone used your name, and you can prove it was not you that got the ticket, then the charges (and the bench warrant) will be dismissed against you. If it is you, then the attorneycan investigate if the officer is still around. If not, then the charges will be dismissed, and the warrant will be quickly resolved. See my website for other hints: www.lawrencelewispc.com. Good luck.

You should recall a ticket if it was yours. Based on what you say, hire a lawyer ASAP. A possibility is that someone stole your identity (which a lawyer can help resolve). You can't ignore this.
