Legally what must someone due to not be accused of harboring a felon?
Roommate is on parole for felony charges in KY and LA. She had been attending court on schedule but decided to run and has moved out of my place. I do not know where she is specifically but know what city she went to. If/when the police and/or parole officer shows up, what information am I required to supply? I have no desire to hide her I also do not wish to put myself in jeopardy. I have found out since she left that she was performing illegal activities within my home.

If she no longer lives there then I do not believe that you have to worry about any of the statutes that deal with harboring unless you are hiding her in another house that you own elsewhere. What you do have to worry about is being hit with lying to the police and arrested for it. You just have to tell the truth here and I really think that you should consult with a criminal attorney about what went on in your house and getting an order of protection in your favor. And have the attorney maybe initiate a conversation with the police about the goings on in your home and how you can help the police and requesting intervention on your behalf if necessary. Good luck.
