How do I take care of out of state warrant, when I can’t drive or fly?
My boyfriend has been told that he needs to return to the state where he was charged. But how can he? The charge is from the west coast and he lives on the east coast? Also, how can we find out info from court, as his charges are from not completing the program.

If your boyfriend has a medical condition that precludes him from driving or flying, he better get a good criminal defense attorney to negotiate and handle this matter with the court on the west coast. Unfortunately, if it is a matter of being unable to afford it, and his charges are from a parole or probation program default, then he needs to immediately find a way to get back to the west coast and handle the matter (usually by turning himself in to the local police authorities and then agree to extradition). Law enforcement will then handle his transfer. He would most likely have to waive extradition to process him out quicker.
