I just moved back to utah, 9 years and 3 kids later, now
divorced. I haven't even been in town for a week, and I
got pulled over for my headligt being out. The officer
was going to let me go, but after running my license, he
said that I had a warrant out....after my mom pawned her
wedding ring to get me out of jail, paying money to get my
truck out of impound, and other fees I won't even get
into, I just went to court and they were most likely going
to impose at least another 500 dollars in fines....The
problem is, I know that I brought in proof of getting my
tailight fixed, proof of insurance, and proof of
registration back in 1996 when the citation was
issued....what can I do now? I don't have the paperwork
anymore, I can't prove that I showed proof, I don't even
remember what car I was driving at the time....I am really
scared....I am not the type that you would ever expect to
see in court, but I feel like the judge is looking at me
like a hardened criminal that meant to break the
law....Why didn't they forward the notice of bench warrant
to my new address when I moved????? I would have taken
care of it all again if I knew that there was a
problem...what do I do???
