LONGVIEW –The Longview Municipal Court has deemed the recent warrant round-up a success. Sally Rees, Director of the Municipal Court, released these figures:
Total Number of Warrants Cleared: 1945
Money Collected: $ 425,062.93
Arrests Made: 197
Brought to Court to Pay Instead of Booking into Jail: 54
The total number of warrants cleared includes those where a Police Officer or Warrant Officer either made an arrest or brought the defendant to the court to pay his or her fine. Police say the majority of the warrants cleared were due to the defendant coming to the Court Office to take care of the warrant. The round-up was part of a statewide effort.

Dollar Value: $ 7,819,187.18
