If you or someone you know has an outstanding warrant out of Osceola County for a non-violent, misdemeanor offense, authorities there are offering an opportunity for you to turn yourself in and have your case settled “in a safe and non-violent environment.”
The is a nation-wide project that was first offered in Osecola in July. 2012, largely due to the efforts of Judge Stefania Jancewicz. It is not an amnesty program, but does offer favorable considerations from the court: fines may be reduced, probation extended, or a new court date may be granted– all as possible alternatives to incarceration. This is a chance for fugitives to stop running from the law and clear their outstanding warrants. Just make sure you have with you a valid photo ID. No weapons or children are allowed.
