If you have an outstanding arrest warrant in Oregon, do not panic, and do not automatically presume the worst. Deal with the warrant, so you don’t have to keep looking over your shoulder everywhere you go. Trying to run from a warrant can be a mistake. Flight terminals, bus facilities, train stations, etc. have access to records of active warrants, which keeps a person from leaving the country.
- Do not suddenly turn yourself in on the warrant. Consult with an attorney or establish plans before surrendering if you choose to turn yourself in.
- Legal professionals in Oregon might find out that you don’t need to surrender and get a prompt arraignment, which will decrease how long you spend in jail, if any time.
