THE MUNICIPAL COURT IN RIO RANCHO IS ONCE AGAIN REMINDING ANYONE WHO HAS AN UNPAID TRAFFIC CITATION, YOU COULD BE ARRESTED. SOME MOTORISTS MAY THINK, BECAUSE THEY DON’T LIVE IN SANDOVAL COUNTY, THEY CAN’T FACE ARREST. THAT WOULD BE WRONG.
A LAW PASSED LAST YEAR ALLOWS THE COURT IN SANDOVAL COUNTY TO ISSUE WARRANTS TO ANYONE WHO LIVES IN AN ADJOINING COUNTY, SUCH AS BERNALILLO. THE COURT ALSO SAYS, IF YOU’RE ARRESTED ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON, YOU MIGHT END UP SPENDING THE WEEKEND IN JAIL BEFORE SEEING A JUDGE.
