Went to renew my motorcycle permit earlier this week and told there was a hold on my license. I thought maybe I had forgot to pay on a ticket that I rec'd last September. Turns out there's something outstanding in North Carolina....FROM 1994!!
Here's where things don't add up: Yes, I've driven through NC a handful of times while stationed in SC and FL but was never ticketed. No, I've never had a NC license, and although there might have been a possible mixup (this is what I'm hoping), the DL# is close but not an exact match to mine. Also, the date of the ticket is 12-27-1994. I know I wasn't near NC during that date. Between Christmas and New Years, I was always on leave and never returned to base until January 2nd.
Because I figure this isn't gonna clear itself, I make a few calls. They mention Wilson County, which is near I-95 according to google maps. I tell them that I wasn't near the area during that time, and their response is that I have a $280 fine to pay. I ask for a copy of the citation, and they tell me that the fine is $280 with no other explanation.
Thought, explanations, theories, etc?
Oh, and apparently there is no statute of limitation on this.
