Defendants must pay all outstanding fines, court costs and/or restitution on Feb. 12. If a court-ordered program was not completed, the court will re-enroll the defendant in the program.
Last year’s amnesty day cleared more than 25 outstanding warrants and closed more than 65 cases. The one-day event collected more than $18,000 in fines and costs.
