General Information
When a citation is issued, the defendant is given a day and time to appear for the arraignment session. If the case is adjudicated at that time, no further appearance is needed. However, if a hearing or trial date is needed, the defendant is given notice to appear at a later date, generally a Tuesday afternoon. At this time, the defendant meets with the prosecutor to discuss the facts of the case. These 2 parties work to reach an equitable agreement. If a resolution to the case is not possible, the case is set for trial, where the judge decides the outcome, based on the facts revealed during the trial. Defendants may have an attorney represent their interests, but this is not mandatory.The court follows each case to its full resolution. This may mean immediate collection, timed-payment arrangements, arrest warrants issued for non-payment, etc.
When court is not in session, the courtroom is available to the general public or other agencies, by appointment only please.
