PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Nearly 300 people wanted for not completing Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) programs now have the opportunity to clear their warrants.

ARD is an early intervention program offered to first-time offenders with non-violent charges like DUI and possession.

When ARD requirements are not met, a warrant is issued for that person's arrest.

Now, the Allegheny County Sheriff's Office is offering those people the chance to lift their warrants and get a new court date, but the deadline is Friday.

The police are asking for defendants to contact the office at 412-350-4709 to set up a time discuss their options.
