QUESTION
Will I go to jail for missing my court date for retail fraud?
Asked on Aug 16th, 2017 on Criminal Law - Michigan
More details to this question:
What do I do if I stole from a store and I went to jail on the spot for almost three days? I was issued a court date and completely forgot about it and I missed it. I now have a warrant. I want to turn myself in but I'm so scared I'll go to jail. Will I go to jail?

Turn yourself in at the court, and that will improve your chances of staying out of jail, but will not guarantee it.

Make sure you hire a local attorney ASAP. Jail is always a possibility but less likely with an attorney. Missing a court date is serious but not fatal.
