I know it’s scary, but sometimes people talk out their ass.
You would certainly be liable in a civil court for damages, but you would never get charged with a felony. The cops would talk to you for about five minutes and toss that warrant.
You learned a lesson. I’ve had several friends in the program. I usually only have to have the “no loans” and no bail conversation once. And it’s usually before they’ve fallen off the wagon. Honesty is the best policy.
Good luck on your recovery.
Actually, it was the cop who informed me of my legal jeopardy. I retained my attorney, and he agreed I was in serious jeopardy. Check out the statute, it specifically mentions rental property: GA 16-8-4
