Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office Eliminates More Than 800 More Open Warrants For Low-Level Offenses
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby's office has eliminated more than 800 additional open warrants for low-level crimes the office isn't prosecuting amid the COVID-19 pandemic, officials said Thursday.
The latest wave includes 829 warrants ranging from drug possession to prostitution, minor traffic offenses and trespassing. Mosby's office said in a news release that people were still being arrested on warrants for cases they didn't plan to prosecute.
In June, the city's state's attorney's office dismissed 586 more cases tied to low-level offenses. The cumulative total now sits at 1,415.
Mosby's office said they will send a letter to those who had cases dismissed. People can also look up their case status online here; cases that were dismissed will have "NOLLE PROSEQUI" listed under charge and disposition information and will have "WARR" and a recent hearing date listed from when the cases were dismissed.
