Im facing a misdemeanor case that carries a maximum of 93 days in jail. The judge that i have, is pretty likely to lock me up. What would happen if i just skipped town and moved a 1000 miles away, like 5 states away. Would they come get me? Would i be facing additional charges if they did?

It depends on if the state you move to has an extradition partnership with the state that you came from.

Some states won't pay to have you returned, while others will. Some states work together as far as extradition goes.

If your crime is of a small enough magnitude then they would just wait for you to slip up and then they would come after you.

I say just do the time. Max it is only three months.

Threre is absolutely no reason to run from something that is so easily fixed. You have to be prepared to do the time if you do the crime.

Yes, you would certainly be facing additional charges, plus fines (for going to get you if needed).

excellent advice...

face the music.

Why skip for a three month sentance? You'll be looking over your shoulder the whole time and end up with a six month sentence. Problems are always best faced head on. Good luck to ya bro.

It's always worst if you run. Ususally you'll be released early anyway, depending on the state. If you run, you eventually will have to do the time anyway. Then when they catch you they will surley lock you up in the HOLE, because you tried to defy their authority.

Plus that will be on your record and could effect a future incarceration if you were to be arrested again. I remember, when they would catch a runner the trustees would tell us that the person was in solitary confinement. That might not happen in every situation depending upon different factors I guess.

I feel for you.

It may seem convenient to run but it is much worse in the long run if you do.

The previous posters are correct. The lurks can relate. 3 years ago the lurks had problems with the drink. Fortunately no one was hurt by poor decisions in the long term. The lurks had to serve 150 days. It sucks but it was the consequences. The sooner they are accepted, the sooner they may be put in the past. Learn from your actions and do your duty. It will make you stronger. Best wishes.

Not sure what state you are in but in mine, you get 3 for 1 time. For a 3 month sentence served in a county lockup (where you go for anything less than 6 months), you will only do 1 month. 1 day equals 3 days of sentence.

More years than you have fingers & toes ago, I managed to plea a manufacturing (growing) charge and received a 90 sentence and only pulled 30 days because of this.

If you cant do 93 days on your head your a puss

i just simply don't want to do it, when i get out, i'll have no job, no apt, all my shit will have been put out on the street, im talking about moving like 5 states away. I can't imagine they would come get me over a misdemeanor. And skipping the country is also an option.
