Municipal Court Amnesty Day

Leavenworth’s Municipal Court is hoping to duplicate its success from a 2016 event that provided amnesty to outstanding warrants. This year’s event will be 8 a.m. to noon Nov. 1, 2019 at the Leavenworth Municipal Court (Leavenworth Justice Center) Courtroom 601 S. Third St. Suite 3017. Currently staff estimate there are more than 3,741 active warrants. All would be eligible for the program. The intent is for individuals to show up to court and

receive amnesty for the warrant fees in order to avoid arrest in the future. This offer is for Municipal Court only, not District Court. Municipal Court includes traffic violations and violations of Leavenworth city ordinances. The general incentive of an amnesty program for the individual with an outstanding warrant includes: 1) Dismissal of warrant fee. 2) Reduced fine. 3) No arrests while voluntarily handling

outstanding warrants. Fines and fees from the original offense will be due at that time, or a payment plan will be arranged. Walkins are welcome. Those appearing for Amnesty Day on Nov. 1 will be handled on a first come, first-served basis. The Municipal Court Judge will be present to determine whether an individual’s fees qualify for the program. Call 913-758-2900 for more information.
