Battle Ground Municipal Court is offering an amnesty program from June 1 to 15 that would waive the warrant cancellation fee for people with outstanding bench warrants.
The court hears misdemeanor-level cases and issues a warrant for a defendant’s arrest if they fail to appear for a hearing.
Typically, a defendant must appear in court and pay a $100 warrant cancellation fee to drop a warrant, according to a press release on the new program.
To participate, people should contact the court at 360-342-5150 to schedule a date to appear in court. Battle Ground Municipal Court serves Battle Ground, La Center and Ridgefield.
