My brother had his 2nd court appearance this morning for a DUI 2 months ago. The judge set a new court date for 3/22/13. We had a few words with his lawyer and left the courthouse. About an hour later, he called the lawyer to drop off payment and she informed us that the court filed and "application to revoke", and there was a warrant for his arrest and that the best thing to do would be to turn himself in. Why didn't the court say anything about that when we were in there? What does this mean? Also, this is not his first offense. I believe that his driver's license was suspended at the time and he has had alcohol related offenses in the past including another DUI. Any advice would be appreciated since this current attorney doesn't seem to know what is going on??? Thank you!

my husband violated probation in 2008, in Florida for his 2nd dui, in 2012 he was arrested for his 3rd dui tulsa ok, his illegal here and was released on a bond does that does that mean he still has an active warrant if he was released from jail?, the jail called over to florida sheriffs office and they said they were not going to extradite him what does that mean?

My husband is a drunk, has several dui's and an ugly record, and I cant remember the last time he even held down a job!My son, (not husbands) is 30 and has NEVER been in any trouble. One night while I was at work, my husband was drunk and was harassing my son. Things escalated, and my husband pushed my son. My son acted in self defense and, quite frankly, beat the crap out of him! Since my husband was drunk, I think he felt invincible and provoked my son, and my son (who has sadly been around domestic violence before) says he genuinely feared for his life. My son ended up leaving the house and going to a safe area &called the police bc he was scared to go back home. Somehow, my son is being prosecuted even though my husband notarized a letter saying he didn't want to press charges. Help!
Sorry to hear about what you and your son are going through. Your son needs to hire a locally experienced defense...
