About 7 years ago, I was put on 15 months probation and 8 months jail time stayed for misdemeanor battery. I never reported and never did the jail time. When I look it up it says that the case is closed. Does this mean there is no warrant because it has been 7 years? I am going back to take care of a different warrant and need to know if I’ll have to deal with also?

Typically if you were placed on a 15 month probation, and never reported and never complied with the terms and conditions of the probation, then a bench warrant for your arrest is issued. Once before the Judge on the warrant, if a 8 moths jail sentence was stayed, then the Judge could sentence you to 8 months (or more) in jail. The best way to see if a warrant has been issued is to contact the court in which you were sentenced to pull up your case. If the case was closed, then no worries. If the case is still open, then more than likely it is in warrant status.
