Dunwoody Municipal Court offers summertime amnesty DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody Municipal Court is holding an amnesty program to settle outstanding violations and reduce arrests. The amnesty runs through June and July and targets individuals with pastdue traffic citations and/or active bench warrants for failing to appear in court. Dunwoody Municipal Court Clerk Norlaundra Huntington said it’s an opportunity to get a fresh start and clear a case without the concern of being arrested
or paying additional late fees or court costs. “This is not a trick,” Huntington said. “Our only goal is to encourage people to come back to court by easing their financial burden.” People who want to take advantage of the program can walk into Municipal Court, located at 4800 Ashford Dunwoody Road, on Mondays, Tuesdays or Fridays between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. only. During that time, if individuals pay
their fines in full, the Municipal Court will forgive all contempt fees. If the offense requires a mandatory court appearance, court staff will grant the individual a date to appear before a judge, with all warrants and fees forgiven. Dunwoody Municipal Court accepts cash, money orders, cashier checks and only Visa and MasterCard credit cards but no personal checks. For more information about the amnesty program, call 678-382-6973.
