Outstanding warrants targeted during statewide roundup
McKinney law enforcement agencies urge violators to pay, avoid consequences

McKINNEY, Texas (Feb. 13, 2009) - The City of McKinney is participating in a statewide warrant roundup starting Feb. 16. The effort in McKinney will primarily target people with outstanding class C warrants, although all warrants are subject to be served. Anyone with an outstanding warrant or citation is urged to take care of it as soon as possible to avoid arrest.

“Because of the success of the roundup the last two year, we are broadening our target this year. Anyone with an outstanding warrant could be arrested at any time of the day or night – at home or at work,” said City Marshal Tim Rich.

Approximately 200 agencies across Texas will be participating in this third annual roundup. Agencies participating in the McKinney roundup include: The McKinney Marshals Office, McKinney Municipal Court, McKinney Police Department and the McKinney Citizens on Patrol. Last year during the warrant roundup, the McKinney Municipal Court cleared 596 misdemeanor warrants.

For more information on how to pay citations and avoid arrest during the warrant roundup, violators should contact the McKinney Municipal Court at 972-547-7679.
