On Saturday, you can check the status of a warrant — without the fear of being arrested.
The City and County of Denver will clear active arrest warrants for low-level crimes this Saturday at the"Fresh Start" event.Imagine being pulled over for a speeding ticket, then ending up in cuffs and behind bars because you didn't know you had an active arrest warrant.
"That's scary for someone," acknowledges Carolyn Tyler, Fresh Start spokesperson."Someone may not even know they have an active warrant, and then they get pulled over for something else and find their day has radically changed. For other people who know they have an active warrant, a lot of people, unfortunately, go into the shadows. We don't want people in the shadows.
In addition to basic misdemeanors, people will also be able to potentially resolve warrants for violations against Denver city codes — like defacing property, curfew violations, disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, trespassing, open alcohol container violations and non-alcohol traffic violations, among other things.
The judge present at the event will decide how the case can be resolved — whether by paying a fine or setting a new date to appear in court. Warrant resolution will be on a case-by-case basis, Tyler says.
