11 year old bench warrant for misdemeanor turned into contempt of court?
I got charged with a misdemeanor traffic violation (driving with permit and no licensed driver) 11 years ago in a city I don't live in. I don't remember why I missed court or why I didn't reschedule. It was so long ago. I didn't even remember it. I may not have understood I had to be at court. I recently got arrested for it. They charged me with contempt of court and I have court Monday. What will most likely happen? Also, can I still be charged with this after so long?

Yes, you can still be charged. Since you never did show up, you are still in contempt. You will need to pay the traffic fine from eleven years ago. They will probably drop the contempt charge, but it is possible that they won't. If they don't drop it, that will mean, I think, an additional fine. I think it is very unlikely that they would make you serve jail time.

you will be charged, and fined for the original charge along with additional fees for contempt of court.
and yes, until you take care of your legal burdens, they will only add up, they never disappear
