Hello ****. It's crucial to understand the laws in your location. Can you provide that? Also, it's generally advisable to consult legal counsel if you're unsure about any instructions given to you by law enforcement.

Hello ****. In Arkansas, a verbal order to appear in court by a police officer is generally not sufficient - there should be a written notice. However, you should:
- Contact the court to verify if a case has been filed.
- Consult a lawyer to protect your rights.
Please don't ignore any court orders.
