Potentially your boyfriend who claims that he was never served paperwork with respect to a criminal matter proceeding against him could go to jail based upon being served with an outstanding bench warrant.It all boils down to who the judge hearing the case believes if he is arrested on an outstanding bench warrant.Given the fact that your boyfriend does not reside in the state where the criminal matter against him is supposedly venued, I suggest that he retain a criminal defense attorney who practices law in the county and state where the criminal matter against him is supposedly located to assist.
