Post: Did not service 24 hour sentence. Now warrant issued

Posted by Charlie on 3/05/07
While going through a divorce, my ex-wife was able to push
a protective order through the court. We owned a business
together and she wanted to take 100% control of the
accounts, which she did and keep me out of my office.
I subsequently was charged twice with violating a
protective order. To get it over with I plead guilty to
both and was sentenced to the WV minimum of 1 day in jail
for both. I served the first 24 hours, but not the second.
I've been living in New England since 2005 and was
recently pulled over and cited for driving on a suspended
license. Called and the suspension was for a warrant for
not doing my day in jail.
Question: Can I be charged with anything else, for not
serving the 24 hours? To resolve this, would I have to do
the 24 hours? Could they run the first 24 that I did,
concurrent with the second that I did not? Is it worth
hiring an attorney over?
Thanks!
Charlie
