Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

bench warrant

i just found out i had a bench warrant on me in my maiden name. it was issued in 1992 the warrant is on micro film..what does that mean? also is there a statue of limatations for a felony 4? i was never contacted about this at all never new i had a warrant out for me.. i live in another state and was arrested in that state and ohio never should up. how can i clear this up? can i call the prosecutor and talk to him about the case? i just don't know what to do.. i am in college for EMT and now i am scared this will show up when they run a nationwide search. i have been walking around with a bench warrant in another state for almost 15 yrs. can anyone give me some advise on what to do to get this matter cleaned up? I can't afford to hire an attorney at this time. so how can i do this on my own without going to jail? i am a mother of 3 children. Thanks for your input

Re: bench warrant

EMT is a good field to be getting in to. The bench warrant is on micro-film because your case is so old tht the paperwork has been put on film and stored.

In order to answer the question on the time limits I will need more information. I agree with your opinion that you need to get this matter cleared up. I may be able to assist you but I will need to know where the Ohio charges were filed. What County? What police department? Sheriff? etc. If you want to give me a call I will be happy to discuss this with you and let you know what I can do. No charge or obligation for the confidential call.

Good Luck
