Residents can have misdemeanor warrants dismissed through April

Saginaw County’s 70th Judicial District Court will offer those County residents with outstanding warrants for failure to pay fines and costs that have been assessed on misdemeanor cases, traffic ticket and civil infractions a unique amnesty opportunity.

Beginning on March 20, 2024, through April 30, 2024, this Court will allow all residents an opportunity to resolve their misdemeanor cases, traffic tickets, and civil infractions that are past due without any additional penalties during this amnesty period.

During the amnesty period, the Judges will waive bench warrant costs and late fees for those who qualify once the original amount is paid in full. Mandatory State Fees and Secretary of State Clearance Card Fees will not be waived. During the amnesty period, people will still be arrested on outstanding warrants for failure to pay fines and costs that have been assessed.

“My message to those with outstanding warrants is simple: voluntarily come in on your own to avoid the risk of being arrested,” said Chief District Court Judge Terry L. Clark. “Our goal is to give people a chance and an incentive, other than arrest, to come in and resolve their outstanding legal issues that may be a barrier to them getting a driver’s license or a better job.”

To find out your balances and the types of payments that are accepted, you may contact the Court’s Criminal Division at (989) 790-5385 or the Traffic Division at (989) 790-5390. Personal checks are not accepted. If you have a bench warrant, you must appear in person.
