I had the same thing happen to me last year over a Failure to Yield ticket. The officer claimed I did a rolling stop at a stopsign and I said "I came to a complete stop...I saw you parked across the street so why would I roll through?" He gave me the ticket and I paid it but apparently they didn't file the paperwork correctly so a year or so later I get stopped at 2pm on a saturday and they take me in for a failure to appear warrant. GUESS WHAT, no judge/bail til monday morning so I had to sit in county all weekend.
While I was waiting at NLR they brought in another guy that they claimed had a failure to appear but couldn't find anything on him in the system. They couldn't figure out what to do with him so they took him over to county with me. He gets to county and they can't find why they have him either. They call the Airforce Base (he's a military brat and they stopped him entering base) and they said in their system he showed up as having a failure to appear for a theft of property charge. He tells them that he already appeared before the judge 2 years prior with his lawyer because it was a case of same name, different person and was cleared. Apparently the military DB still showed it as him but the LRPD had it cleared. This guy had cancer and had staples in his side from having a bone marrow transplant 2 days prior and they wouldn't release him or give him any meds. We talked the whole weekend and I gave him my cell number and apparently they didn't let him out until THURSDAY the following week and last time I talked to him the state was trying to settle his case out of court. He was a good dude that got on by the system...
