CLASS C MISDEMEANOR WARRANT ARRESTS

In those situations where a suspect has confirmed, bondable, Class C misdemeanor warrants, the money to pay the bond on the warrants, and wishes to pay the warrants, the arresting officer must transport the suspect to the Municipal Court during normal working hours rather than to jail.

The officer must remain with the suspect until the transaction is completed, then return to service taking credit for the arrest.

B. If the arrested person’s vehicle was impounded, the officer must complete an offense/incident report with the details of the arrest and impoundment of the vehicle.

C. Every effort must be made to ensure that the suspect is given the opportunity to gain a bond release as soon as possible.
