The Judge will hear your position and may relieve you of the warrant; but, it will be necessary for you to come to the Sheriff ’s office to get this taken care of. Officer 1: I am going to turn this over to my Lieutenant who will give you instructions. Do you understand? McKinni: Yes, I understand. Lieutenant: Is this Mr. McKinni? McKinni: Yes, it is. Lieutenant: Mr. McKinni, you are to proceed to the Sheriff ’s office. Do not stop on the way unless you are instructed to do so. Because there is a warrant for your arrest, our officers have your vehicle and tag information. Should they stop you, you will be arrested, placed in hand cuffs, and taken to the Sheriff ’s office for incarceration . If you stay on the phone with me, I can help you avoid that situation. Do you understand? McKinni: Yes, I understand. Lieutenant: Mr. McKinni, there is a $30,000 fee for failing to appear for the Federal Jury duty. Can you bring that to the Sheriff ’s office?
