Shreveport Offers One-Day Event to Help Misdemeanor Offenders Resolve Legal Issues

Shreveport Hosts Special Event for Misdemeanor Offenders

SHREVEPORT, La. – Are you or someone you know facing a misdemeanor offense? Well, there’s some fantastic news! The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office is putting together a one-day event this Saturday to help those dealing with misdemeanor warrants get their cases sorted out. From 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., the courthouse will be buzzing with opportunities for people to finally put those pesky legal issues behind them.

What You Need to Know

This event is ideal for anyone who may have a warrant due to unpaid fines or fees. If you’re one of those people, you can settle your case simply by paying your outstanding balance. It doesn’t get much easier than that! Plus, if you missed a court appearance and now have a warrant out for your arrest, you can show up in person, explain your situation to a judge, and take steps to resolve your legal matters.

Now, there are a couple of important things to keep in mind. This program will not apply to individuals who were arrested due to the warrant before they voluntarily turned themselves in. Additionally, if you have a felony warrant, this event won’t cover those cases. But for those with qualifying misdemeanor issues, this day is a golden opportunity.

Why Attend the Event?

You might be wondering, why should I participate in this event? Well, there are several reasons! First, having a misdemeanor warrant can affect your daily life, from job opportunities to renting a place to live. By resolving these issues, you’re taking a big step toward moving ahead with your life.

Secondly, the courthouse staff understands that life can be tough, and sometimes situations spiral out of control. This event is designed to be friendly and approachable, making it easier for everyone to come forward and address their legal problems. The goal is for individuals to walk away feeling relieved, instead of overwhelmed.

Planned Assistance

The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office is committed to creating a supportive atmosphere. You’ll find staff on hand who are trained to assist you through the entire process, ensuring that you understand what you need to do. They will be there to answer questions and provide clarity about your legal standing.

How to Prepare for the Day

If you plan on attending, here are a few preparation tips to make your experience more smooth:

• Bring Identification: Having valid ID will help you navigate the process more easily.
• Know Your Balance: If you have unpaid fines or fees, it’s helpful to know exactly what you owe so you can take care of it quickly.
• Be ready to share your story: If you are resolving a failure-to-appear warrant, be prepared to explain your situation to the judge.
