Answer: Let me get this right, you yourself went to the sheriff's dept. and inquried about an open warrant. The sheriff verified that there is an open warrant for your arrest, and let you wak out of the jail without arresting you. Naw, that didn't happen. Try again. They told you they will not take off the warrant, and let you walk out of the jail. Naw, that didn't happen. In regards to your job search, you will probably end up losing the job you get once you are stopped for a traffic violation and the warrant pops up, because you are going to be arrested. Can you sue the county? Sure you can. You need to find an attorney, pay him and then file a lawsuit. Of course if I had money for an attorney, I would pay him to resolve the warrant, and the fact that someone is using my identity. However, you should proceed in the manner you think is best.
