Municipal Court Definitions
Plea Agreement
A case may be resolved through a plea agreement or diversion program.
A defendant has two options to have a moving violation amended to a non-moving violation:
- Appear on your court date and speak with a prosecutor about the violation not being recorded on your driving record. The prosecutor will consider your driving record and the circumstances surrounding the traffic offense. If the prosecutor agrees to amend the moving violation, fine amounts are set at the prosecutor’s discretion based on a person’s prior driving record.
- A second option is to call the prosecutor’s office at 788-3754 and leave a message to have him arrange a plea negotiation by telephone. If, for some reason you have not spoken with the prosecutor prior to your appearance date, you will be required to appear.
Failure to appear at your scheduled docket may result in a warrant being issued for your arrest.
