Question: I was arrested in Jan for misdemeanor battery. The arrest warrant had a similar name to mine and I was booked under that name. The arresting officers didn't have the arrest warrant changed to my legal name. I had an arraignment scheduled for April and it was changed to June. I called the Judges' chamber and was informed that my case is no longer on the calendar because it hasn't been "accused". How should I proceed with this?

Answer: Proceed with what the open charges, the info regarding the accusation, what are you referring to? If you miss your court date a bench warrant will be issued and you will be arrested. If the courts have your correct address, the name on the accusation should not matter.
