Findlay Municipal Court to Host 8th Annual Safe Surrender Day on April 7

Findlay Municipal Court will be conducting its 8th Annual Safe Surrender Day on Monday, April 7 between the hours of 9:00am and 4:00pm.

Individuals with active bench warrants who report to the Court on that day will not be arrested.

Instead, individuals who take advantage of this opportunity, will work with designated court staff to solve their legal issues.

Some examples from the City of Findlay website include:

Individuals who failed to attend a court hearing will be seen by the Judge, Magistrate or court staff that day.

Individuals who failed to perform community service will be reassigned to a work location. If the individual missed a community service contempt hearing, the hearing will be rescheduled to allow the person time to complete the community service;

Individuals who did not complete counseling for mental health or substance abuse will have their appointments rescheduled;

Individuals who did not attend a status conference will meet with a magistrate or court staff to review their financial ability to pay outstanding fines and to establish a new payment plan;

Individuals who did not report to serve a jail sentence will be issued a new date to report.

Appointments are preferred but walk-ins are also accepted.

To schedule an appointment, call the Clerk’s office at 419-424-7141.
