Have Warrants? University City Might Forgive Them

University City is offering people that may have outstanding warrants an opportunity to clear the record.

Through an amnesty program, University City’s Municipal Court will accept amnesty vouchers to cancel outstanding misdemeanor warrants and schedule a new court date, according to a press release from the City of University City.

Vouchers will be accepted by participating municipal courts from Monday Aug. 15 to Friday Aug. 19. Processing hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A $100 fee also will be assessed to process the cancellation.

St. Louis Community College at Forest Park will be distributing vouchers on Saturday, August 13 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the school gymnasium. There will be a $10 processing fee for all vouchers.

In all, 44 metro-area jurisdictions are providing amnesty vouchers.

Questions about the program may be directed to the University City Municipal Court at (314) 505-8578.

The amnesty program is run by Better Family Life, a non‐profit community development corporation dedicated to the prosperity and growth of the American family. The group started the amnesty program in 2002 as a one day event to help citizens clear their records of outstanding traffic related warrants. In 2010, the program was expanded to include all misdemeanor warrants.
