Will i be sent back to US if i am for any reason to be stopped in DR? Also is there a statue of limitations on not going to court? My thoughts are 30 years in DR are better then 2 in jail. dont need to be told i am a scum bag for wanting to run, i feel bad enough for wanting to leave the country i served for 30 years! any positive feed back or advise is welcome

A class "A" misdemeanor will not be cause for you to be deported, as only felonies and above cases are shared via INTERPOL. The question on statute of limitations depends on your state's criminal code.
Without judging you, I would say that all our problems are best faced head on than later down the road without a notice.
Being that you'll have an outstanding court warrant, given your intent to run away from your court date; getting a DR residency will be out of the question! This becoming your first roadblock to obtaining a "normal" life while in the DR.
The only thing you'll have to face taking that road in the DR will have to depart and re-enter the country to and from another non-US country. That will allow you to drive legally in the DR for periods of time.
If you ever become involved in a legal or Police matter in the DR, think like a brawl or legal dispute, your past will create major problems for you!
If you live a straight "trouble" free life in the DR is doable...
You need to think this one hard and very carefully...
Running away from responsibilities that can affect your life long term, is never the best of choices...
