Legal Question in DUI Law in Pennsylvania

ARD Revoke+DUI Recharge?

Hello, I really need some help about what my options may be. I can't afford a lawyer. In a nutshell, in 2004 I was arrested for a DUI in which there was no accident and I was being assaulted at the time and had no choice but to drive. Even though it was my 1st and only offense the mag. put me in jail for 12 days until the hearing. At that point I accepted entrence into the DUI prog. mainly just to get out of it the easiest way possible. I served a 3 month License sus. and never paid the 1,500$ fine. At the end of my ARD term, I was told by my probation officer that my ARD was being revoked and it would go back into the system and I would be charged all over with a DUI.He told me to look for somthing in the mail. I heard nothing for 3 YEARS. Last week I got a bill for 1,500$ or go to court. What can I do? Isn't the statue of lim. up on this. Do I still owe for the ARD even though it was revoked?

Please Help,

Thank you,

Bob S.
