My question involves criminal law for the state of: NM and PA
In December I got 2 misdemeanor charges in NM for battery against a household member and spent 12 days total in jail. They are 2 separate charges, 2 separate incidents, both of which were in self defense but since I didn't have any marks on me and my boyfriend did (the first incident he had an ink mark on his face because I threw a pen at him and the second he had a scratch on his neck) I went to jail and he did not. I have absolutely no prior record so for the first offense I was ROR'd but for the second I got out on bail which was set at $6,000. I moved to PA because I feared for my safety from him and he told me that he was going to go to my court dates (coming up in mid March) and testify to make sure that I went back to jail. I don't drive so I'm not planning on getting pulled over or having ANY contact with the police while in PA. BUT, if I do will they arrest me because I'm sure I will have warrants for failure to appear (or who knows what else) when I don't show up to court. Or will NM extradite me? Also, even if my ex knows where I am, is there anything he could do to get me in further trouble? Any information is helpful because I have never been in trouble and I'm stressing the hell out! Thanks.
