Arkansas Side Begins Warrant Amnesty Program

Sponsor

Judge Wren Autrey has announced the Miller County District Courts, both City and County Divisions in Texarkana, Arkansas will grant Amnesty beginning January 28, 2019 through March 29, 2019 for individuals that have outstanding warrants for failure to appear, probation violation, or failure to report.

During this time, the District Court will waive the warrant fee and jail time if it receives full payment for these warrants.

Officers will not arrest anyone who appears at the Bi-State or The Miller County Correctional Facility to pay these fines. If in doubt you may contact the Probation Department (903-798-3243) or the District Court Clerk (903-798-3016). To contact the Miller County District Court, you may contact the Probation Department (870-773-2971) or the District Court Clerk (870-772-2780).

Debbie Nolte, Chief Probation Officer, said the Amnesty Program would enable those sought on warrants to avoid the embarrassment and inconvenience of being arrested, avoid being assessed additional court costs of $350.00 and resolve their case entirely. “These individuals have had their driving privilege suspended and clearing these fines will also enable them an opportunity to regain a valid driver’s license. With income tax returns coming in, it is a great time for people to take advantage of this opportunity.”
