WARRANT PROCESS

You must report the crime or violation to the Arab Police Department and obtain a copy of the incident report. The offense must have occurred within the police jurisdiction of the City of Arab. The Magistrate will determine if probable cause exists and will prepare a complaint that you must swear or affirm, under oath, to be the truth. The Magistrate will then issue a Warrant of Arrest.

When the accused has been arrested and the case has been scheduled for court, you will be notified by subpoena to appear and testify. Once you sign the complaint, the case becomes the property of the City and you CANNOT drop the charge.

Failure to appear may result in a bench warrant being issued for your arrest by the presiding judge.

DRIVING SCHOOL

In some minor traffic infractions, if eligible, we can offer driving school, which can dismiss the traffic case.
Call the Court Office to see if you qualify for driving school.
