In an effort to encourage people with bench warrants in North Las Vegas to resolve their cases, North Las Vegas Municipal Court is now halving the fees for certain bench warrants. According to Court administrator Debbie Miller, this tactic for quashing bench warrants in Nevada has been successful so far. Since March 2, the court has collected a half million dollars in fees and has closed two thousand cases.

In order for defendants to take advantage of this discount, they need to have finished any other court obligations like community service or DUI School. This offer lasts only until April 30. Defendants with bench warrants in North Las Vegas should call the court at (702) 633-1130 to see if they’re eligible for the discount rate for quashing bench warrants in Nevada.

Quashing bench warrants in Nevada is usually a simple procedure, and often your attorney can appear in court without you having to show up also. Judges issue bench warrants as a penalty for missing a court appearance or not carrying out a court order. In some cases, there are no fees at all associated with bench warrants.

Murder Suspect Has Nevada Bench Warrant; Removing Nevada Bench Warrants

Jason Ivler, the twenty-eight year old suspect in the homicide of Renato Victor Ebarle, Jr., has a bench warrant out of the Justice Court of Canal Township, Nevada. Dated September 9, 2009, the Nevada bench warrant is for failure to appear in court to address various drugs-related offenses. According to Chief of the NBI Counter Terrorism Unit Ricardo Diaz, Ivler was indicted for possession of Flunitrazepam, a sedative drug.

Ivler was arrested last week in Quezon City, and he’ll face murder charges in the Philippines before being deported to the US for the drugs case. The murder victim, killed on November 18, 2009 in Quezon City, was the son of Malacañang official Presidential Chief of Staff Undersecretary Renato Ebarle, Sr. Back in 2004, Ivler was also involved in a fatal car crash that resulted in the death of presidential adviser Nestor Ponce, Jr.

In most cases, removing Nevada bench warrants is a simple process that requires no jail or bail. For misdemeanors, your attorney needs only to appear on your behalf; for felonies, you should appear alongside your attorney. If you have one, removing Nevada bench warrants is important to do as soon as possible so the police no longer have the authority to arrest you on sight.
