Gadsden Amnesty Day

The city of Gadsden is offering an Amnesty Court Day on Wednesday, March 4, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The court office will remain open through lunch for Amnesty Day. The amnesty program provides an opportunity for those with certain charges to clear their cases without concern of being physically arrested.

Amnesty is offered to all individuals who have received traffic, misdemeanors, failed to appear, owe fines, have warrants and any pending charges.

On Amnesty Day, Judge Welch will accept one-half of the amount that is owed to the court, paid in full that day, and the court will remit the balance owed.

Anyone wishing to take advantage of this program may do so by appearing in court on March 25. Only cases that have been previously adjudicated are eligible for this promotion. Pre-Trial Diversion cases are not eligible.

For any information concerning the Amnesty Day procedure, call 256-549-4595.
