NASHVILLE, Tenn.- Sixty-four
people with outstanding warrants took advantage of Metro's self-surrender
program.
"I was running. I'm tired
now. I was running for driving with no
license. Let me get this warrant off me man," said Nathan Reed who had his
warrant dismissed.
The program recently
allowed people who have received a citation, but didn't show up on their booking
date to have the charges resolved, all with the help of judges and public
defenders. Most of the people who turned themselves in were in trouble for
crimes like driving without a license, trespassing, and drug possession.
