RIO RANCHO’S MUNICIPAL COURT IS OFFERING AN AMNESTY WEEK STARTING MONDAY, APRIL 24TH THROUGH THE 27TH. PRESIDING JUDGE ROBERT COOK TELLS US NO ONE WILL FACE ARREST IF THEY SHOW UP TO TAKE CARE OF AN OUTSTANDING BENCH WARRANT.
JUDGE COOK SAYS THERE ARE ABOUT 8-THOUSAND WARRANTS ON FILE. HE SAYS MANY OF THOSE WARRANTS ARE FOR RESIDENTS OF BERNALILLO COUNTY.
A NEW LAW, HOUSE BILL 110, NOW ALLOWS COURTS TO ISSUE WARRANTS TO RESIDENTS OF COUNTIES THAT ADJOIN THEM.
