Is the following statement true? A court may issue an arrest warrant for a person who turns 17 for offenses before 17 without exhausting remedies.

• A. Not enough information
• B. False
• C. True
• D. Both

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that a minor’s age at the time of the offense does not prevent a warrant from being issued. If someone turned 17 but allegedly committed offenses before reaching 17, the authorities can pursue arrest through the appropriate juvenile or mixed-venue processes based on probable cause, and there’s no requirement to “exhaust remedies” before issuing an arrest warrant. In other words, turning 17 does not bar the court from issuing a warrant for offenses that occurred while the person was still a minor. Therefore, the statement is true.
