A few weeks ago, I was pulled over for speeding. After all the routine crap, the officer told me I had a warrant for my arrest for terroristic threatening, from a city 300 miles away from where I live. I told the officer that it was a mistake (isn't it always) but I was arrested. When we got to the jail, the officer claimed to check the warrant and said it was a warrant for my arrest. Several hours later I made bail.
Turns out I didn't have to go to court, because I provided enough evidence over the phone that the Sheriff's department was convinced it was another Klash and they dismissed it so I wouldn't have to make the 5 hour drive to defend myself but now I'm out $200 from posting bail but would have been out much more if I wouldn't have; considering I was going to be extradited to the county the "crime" took place and would have missed several days work.
Can't get my money back from the bail bondsman, I technically hired him to do a job. The victim didn't file the complaint against me but another Klash, so it's not a false police report. The Sheriff put a warrant out for Klash's arrest but had no other relevant information on the warrant.
So if your ever in this situation have the officer check the warrant and if they say it is right ask them to check again. Damn government!
