Here’s more from the city about the days, set for May 24 and 26:
Due to coronavirus, many people have not come to court. Either warrants have been issued for their arrest, or their file has been put aside until after Amnesty Days at which time warrants will be issued. The work release center has reopened and is now being used as an overflow for people being arrested for City of Florence misdemeanor warrants.
Florence Municipal Court is having two amnesty days for people who have missed their court date and want to make sure they don’t get arrested. The amnesty days are May 24 (Monday) and May 26 (Wednesday) from 9 am -12:00 and 1 pm to 3:30. If you come during those hours, you will not get arrested and be given a new court date.

COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– On Monday, the Columbia Municipal Court announced that they will implement their new “Spring Forward Amnesty Program” on every Friday this May. The City of Columbia says this program will allow citizens with outstanding bench warrants or fines to settle their cases without being arrested. Officials say those who appear voluntarily at one of the amnesty locations will have the opportunity to warrants vacated and fines either reduced or converted into community service. This program will begin May 7.
Authorities say this program does not apply to those charged with driving under the influence, first offense or domestic violence, third degree.
