BATON ROUGE — Courts across East Baton Rouge Parish are participating in a community warrant resolution clinic this weekend.
On Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in downtown Baton Rouge, the 19th JDC, East Baton Rouge Parish Juvenile Court, East Baton Rouge Parish Family Court, Baton Rouge City Court, Zachary City Court and Baker City Court will be offering the chance to clear active warrants without arrests.
Public defenders will be available to discuss cases, with resolution of the case or the setting of a new court date available.
