I would hope that a charge of driving under the influence, or to be quite blunt, drinking while intoxicated would be enough to send it back to another state.

Why, has this happened to you? It is important enough in many provinces of Canada to remove a license from an individual, and a car, for a long period. That is a serious charge and should be zero tolerance. IMO.

What state is it from and to what state is it going ? It would be good to finish your question.

... should be zero tolerance. IMO. ...

"zero tolerance" = "don't confuse me with the facts"

"zero tolerance" = "don't confuse me with the facts"

I don't know what you mean by this. Please explain. Are you being facetious... I don't know, because as far as I am concerned a dUI charge is absolutely 'zero tolerance', or it should be anywhere AK. People drinking and driving kill or maim other people most likely. In Ontario, a driver looses his license for a good number of years, and its absolutely proven that a DUI (and I can't state facts so don't ask me) offender does it again and again.

What States? It depends. If course if you don't appear there will be a warrant and you won't have a valid driver's license so if you get stopped there will be more than one charge against you.

Sorry I just joined the site to ask the question so I wasn't quite sure how to phrase it. My Boyfriend of 2 years just recently tried to go get his COLORADO drivers license and was denied. They handed him a number for Fargo ND, DMV and he explained to me in very little detail that he might have had some outstanding ticket there from over 6 years ago. I called the courthouse today and to my surprise he had what they called a bench warrant for fines not paid due to a DUI also some kind of class. He is still at work and they will not tell me anything else because I am not him obviously so I am doing my best at trying to research how to take care of this but I am also terrified they are going to take him back to ND and I depend on him greatly for care of our disabled son. Thank You for responding

He can pretty much pay his fines and "they" will drop the warrant. He will probably have to appear.

I would advise him NOT to drive at this point. I am certain Colorado has notified ND and his name is now in the system. He can and will be stopped and then it's anybody's guess. If nothing else happens he will be held while the legal system decides what to do with him next.

Do you know if there is anyway they can transfer his case to CO court system. I ask because I don't know if he can afford to appear in ND but I am willing to do whatever it takes to fix this. Should I have him go to the local police and "turn him self in" ? He just told me he is scared to lose his job but I am beside myself not being able to work this out asap

NO they can not and will not "transfer" the case, it has to be tried and handled in the other state.

And no he also can't just turn hisself in, the way warrants work, if he is stopped or even went to turn his self in, they call the other state and ask if they want him to be held to be transported back. Most likely for this, at this time, they will not but they could. But it often depends even who is on duty when they call, so he could be stopped and detained 3 or 4 times and released and the 5th time be held. You just will never know.

Best course of action, hire an attorney in the state where the warrant is, have them make arrangements for him to go there, pay the fines, and post bail and be released till it is over.

Next his work place obviously did not run a back ground check.

Next he needs not to drive, he has no valid drivers license at this point and if stopped now he will most likely be arrested on new charges of driving without a license or driving on expired
