Traffic/Criminal Violations
Criminal Citations
When you receive a citation, there may be an appearance date and time listed on the ticket. You must appear in person or contact the Court by that date and time, to arrange payment for the citation or to contest the charges listed on the citation and set your case for trial. If there is not a date on your citation contact the court as soon as possible. Notices will only be sent to the address listed on your citation. If you fail to appear or fail to contact the Court, a bench warrant may be issued for your arrest for your failure to appear which will add a bench warrant fee to the amount of money due on the citation and your driver’s license may be suspended.
When a citation states that you must appear in Court, rather than listing a fine or bail amount, it is a mandatory appearance on the date and time listed on the citation. YOU MUST APPEAR PERSONALLY.
If you cannot afford to pay the entire amount listed on the citation, please contact the Court to arrange a payment plan. Once a plan is established, if you default in your payments, a bench warrant may be issued.
If you wish to contest the citation, you must contact the court and complete the proper paperwork and post the cash bond (the total amount due on the citation), a date for pre-trial will be scheduled. This is to ensure your appearance at trial. If you are found not guilty at trial, the amount you have posted will be refunded. If you are found guilty at trial, the amount you have posted will be forfeited toward payment of the citation.
