I bounced a 30 dollar check at a grocery store in March 2008 in Florida. I was not aware that it had bounced and in July 2008 we moved to North Carolina. In the end of August I recieved a letter from the State Attorney's office ordering me to appear in court in the first week of September. I made restitution on the check immediately and faxed all of the information to the secretary who in turn gave it to the judge. Since I could not appear because I live so far away and I am the only one working and could not take the time off the judge issued a bench warrant anyway. It says on the website that my bond is 5,000. How do I go about clearing all of this up without having to make the trip down to Florida? If I get pulled over for a traffic violation here in NC, will they find my misdemeanor bench warrant and take me to jail? Thank you.
