The Yazoo City Municipal Court will hold its third Amnesty Day Program next month in an effort to collect unpaid fines, clearing many records.
Amnesty Day will be held on March 3 from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. at the Yazoo City Police Department.
“The Court is pleased to once again afford citizens the opportunity to clear outstanding fines or warrants while avoiding additional fees and penalties,” said Judge Lilli Evans. “This is an opportunity that anyone with an outstanding fine in Yazoo City should take advantage of, and I will be available each day to clear warrants or provide the opportunity for individuals to make payment arrangements.”
Individuals will have the opportunity to pay tickets, court imposed fines and court costs while waiving warrant and administration fees for each violation. Unpaid traffic tickets can result in a suspended license, additional fees and penalties, and an arrest. Traffic cases and misdemeanors with the exception of DUI, domestic violence, crimes involving weapons and crimes against another person can be cleared on Amnesty Day. Citizens must be prepared to pay fines in full to have all fees waived.
Following this year’s Amnesty Program, any remaining outstanding warrants will be rigorously enforced.
Bring a photo I.D., a copy of the ticket if you can locate it, and payment to the Yazoo City Police Department at 305 Mike Espy Drive in Yazoo City.
