I have a warrant out for my arrest, but have not been picked up by the police. How can I take care of this?
You may turn yourself into a Summit County Jail or other jail. Make sure to have the bond money on you, or be with another person who can bond you out, in order to avoid spending time in jail. A bail bondsman may act as a surety. In certain circumstances, you may be eligible for a personal recognizance bond if you are unable to pay your bond.
You may also surrender yourself to the Court, on a day that court is in session, the third Wednesday of the month, at 8 a.m. or 1 p.m. You will go before the judge that day. You will not be required to pay the bond at that time, but will receive a personal recognizance bond. Contact the Municipal Clerk at 970-262-7304 for more information on this option.
