There was a warrant issued for her Nov. 16, 2024 on an open criminal case. Misdemeaner with low bail for leaving the scene of an accident so not sure she'd go missing intentionallly for that
however she has had a previous arrest for leaving the scene of an accident with a DUI charge involving endangering the welfare of a minor (the leaving the scene was dismissed but she was found guilty on the other 2 charges).
She also had two separate convictions for violating the terms of her release, both in 2019. Those previous cases might, in my opinion, might be something she is worried might impact the sentence for the current case.
Another red flag IMO -she also got an Order of Protection issued last year.
