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 misd??? The most you could do for an A misdameanor is 1 year so if your facing 2 years its a felony.If you are stopped in DR(arrested) you could be deported back to the USA. There is no extradition treaty with the US per say but if you are a citizen of the USA,especially under Leonel,they will send you back to the states. If you are a Dominican citizen then it is less likely they would send you back to the states unless it was a high profile case.

Hmmm....I know at least one murderer who travelled freely between Canada and the DR--Thomas Reinis, who I believe also murdered my uncle. When I tried to contact Interpol, they "refused to violate his privacy", even though he had escaped from a Canadian prison. At one point, I understand, Balaguer almost put him in charge of the Dominican FBI. I guess only murderers, thieves and fraud artists are safe from Interpol.

Kriptinite, you're going to risk the pension you served 30 years for, just to avoid a few months time in jail for a stupid moment? Man up, face the music, and get on with your life.

Come to the DR after you've paid the price and enjoy life in the DR with no regrets or worries.

Absolutely.. Be a man.

Myself, I find it hard to believe that a person that served in the military for 30 years would even CONSIDER what you are thinking.

OP, sorry for the hijack.....

Class "a" Misd? 1 year? Sounds harsh...especially if it's your first offense...unless it was DUI (with injury) or a lot of "tobacco"...

If you ain't convicted yet, I'd wait and see...you'll forfet bond, your pension and be reclassified as "absconded".

"BE 21" Good luck.

run away for minor stuff?
that's not the way to respect the country "served" for 30 years.
