Warrant amnesty and why a quick stop in court beats a long day in jail

from What’s Up, College Station? · host whatsupcollegestation

In this week’s episode of "What's Up, College Station?" Municipal Court Judge Ed Spillane discusses the high rate of MIPs in Northgate, this month’s warrant amnesty period, and why a quick stop in court is better than a long day in jail.  The warrant amnesty period for the City of College Station and Brazos County is Feb. 9-27. If you have an outstanding warrant, you can avoid paying a $50 per-case warrant fee if you pay the fine in full. During the warrant roundup Feb. 28-March 8, city marshals, police officers, reserve police officers, and constables will arrest those who haven’t paid their fines. If the College Station Police Department issued your citation, you can check your warrant’s status at cstx.gov/warrants.  The "What's Up, College Station?" podcast is available weekly via Podbean, iHeartRadio, Spotify, Apple, and Amazon/Audible.
