Can someone be charged with evading and vehicle theft if the driver was never caught?

Criminal Law lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
DO NOT talk to the police. Your BF needs to retain counsel and that attorney will handle the harassing police for you. The police will not listen to you and don't care. Let an attorney do your dirty work.

What happens if I missed a court date because my child was in the ER?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
You will need to turn yourself in and be arraigned in order to get the matter resolved. Otherwise it will just keep hanging on your head. Did you call on the day of your court date to inform them of the emergency situation? The judge may very excuse you but verbally scold you for not showing up, but there remains the chance that the judge could throw you in jail. Explain to the judge why you did not show up, plead for mercy, and hope for the best. I would suggest at least discussing the matter with a lawyer first before you proceed on your own.

In a grand theft auto charge, if the owner doesn't push the charges, will it stick?

It is not the owner who "presses charges" in a criminal case. It is the State, through the office of the prosecutor. The owner is simply a witness/victim to the commission of a crime. It is up to the prosecutor as to whether the case will go forward.
