Legal Question in DUI Law in Louisiana

I received a DUI in 2007. I had since moved off but came back to LA to enter into a pre-trial diversion program. I did a few drug tests for them and even when I was out of state I went and did my drug test. It has been 5 years since that happened and they told me if I did that for 1 year my record would be free and clear. I am pretty sure I finished it but I no longer live in the state, family members tell me the sheriff's office has came to their house 3 times looking for me. What do I do and can I look up if I have a warrant for my arrest. Looking for a little guidance. Thanks,

Call the THEY that told you if you did that for 1 year your record would be free and clear and find out what is going on. Since you do not know who THEY is, you need to call the Sheriff's department or if you know a law enforcement person in your area and he is A GOOD FRIEND, ask to have your record run and see what is going on. Then arrange to come face it. It is not that big a deal if what you wrote is factually correct.
