Freedom Week In Bradley County

Posted: February 7, 2012 at 4:46 am

     Some criminals in Bradley County are getting a so-called "get out of jail free" card this week.
     It is called Amnesty or Freedom Week.
     Starting Monday, if you have an outstanding misdemeanor warrant, you have the chance to turn yourself in without going to jail, you just have to pay a little on a cash bond.
     County leaders will then let you make payments on the rest of the amount.
     According to the misdemeanor probation office, in just a three hour span Monday, about two dozen people turned themselves in, and more than five thousand dollars was collected.
     Kimberly Cheek, with the misdemeanor probation office in Bradley County, says, "This is like a freedom bill. This is a bill that's paid, it's a duty, it's a debt that you owe. Come in and pay it."
     There are about 1,500 outstanding warrants in Bradley County.
     Amnesty or Freedom week ends on Friday.
