| Q. |
I Was notified that there is a warrant for my arrest. What do I need to do to take care of this? |
| A. |
In order to take care of an outstanding warrant, you must turn yourself, in to the Foley Police Department. After the warrant has been processed, you will be given an opportunity to post a bond and you will be given a court date. You may contact the Foley Magistrate's office at (251) 952 - 4086 to receive specific information pertaining to your case. |

|
| Q. |
The court date that I was given is inconvenient. Can I reschedule my court appearance? |
| A. |
You must appear before the judge on your original court date to obtain a continuance. If you have an attorney, your attorney can file a motion requesting a continuance on your case. |
| |
|
| Q. |
I wish to just plead guilty and pay my fine. Will the court allow me to do that? |
| A. |
In certain cases (i.e minor traffic citations, etc) the court will allow you to enter a plea before a magistrate and pay your fines and court cost. The Foley Police Officers hand out an information sheet with a list of the scheduled fines. |
| |
|
| Q. |
How can I find out the exact amount of my fine? |
| A. |
The municipal judge establishes the amount of the fine in each individual case. Depending upon the charge, the judge can, in most instances, place a maximum fine of $500.00 plus court costs. There are, however, fines for some charges (i.e. DUI) that can be much higher than this. |
| |
|
| Q. |
After I go to court, will the judge give me additional time to pay? |
| A. |
Payments of fines and court costs is expected at the time you appear in court. However, you may ask the judge to pay payments thru our probation service. |
