A. Warrant Serving Fee: If a warrant of arrest, signed by the Municipal Judge of the City, is served by a law enforcement officer or official, or an attempt is made to serve the warrant, then and in said event a warrant cost of one hundred twelve dollars ($112.00) shall be assessed against the offender, in addition to the full amount of the fine and costs assessed by the court or established in a posted schedule of fines and costs. This procedure shall be implemented when a warrant of arrest is actually served by an officer, or an effort is made relative thereto, or when a person voluntarily appears to respond to a warrant of arrest.
B. Inability To Pay Warrant Fees: In the event an offender presents himself at the Lone Grove City Hall and/or Police Department with only the assessed fine and costs, and is unable to pay the warrant fee, the City Clerk shall accept the regular fine money and costs and then allow the offender until five o'clock (5:00) P.M. of the day of presentment to pay the warrant fee. If the offender fails to return with the warrant fee by five o'clock (5:00) P.M. on the day in question, then the warrant of arrest will be served and the one hundred twelve dollar ($112.00) warrant fee outlined in subsection A of this section shall be applicable. Violations are not considered satisfied until all associated fines, costs and warrants are paid. (Ord. 172, 11-16-1998; amd. 2006 Code)
C. Checks Accepted; Insufficient Funds:
1. The City Clerk and the Police Department shall have authority to accept personal checks in payment of fines and costs so long as the offender or licensee is not under arrest or incarcerated. In event of insufficient or dishonored checks, the City Clerk will take steps to forward proof of the insufficiency or dishonor of the payment to the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety with a request that the operator's license (driver's license) of that offender be suspended and administrative action taken. In said event, any reinstatement fee assessed by the Department of Public Safety shall be the obligation of the offender. (Ord. 172, 11-16-1998)
