Pay Up Or Get Locked Up!

If you have an old traffic ticket and thought you could get away with not paying it, think again. Mobile Police are laying down the law. Unpaid tickets are landing folks in jail. Traffic violators got an early morning wake up call from police. Officers knocked on doors and one by one offenders were cuffed and loaded up in the paddy wagon. Police say all those arrested had outstanding warrants for traffic tickets. For those who think they won't get caught, cops have a clear message: pay up or get locked up, "It's not going to go away. It has to be dealt with. It's either going to be dealt with, you know, on your own or you may have to go, you may get picked up in the morning with the assistance of the police department. But, either way when you get issued the ticket, it has to be dealt with," said Mobile Police Spokesman, Officer Christopher Levy. Mobile Police say more than a dozen people were arrested and sent to jail Tuesday morning. Police had 68 old warrants on their list, they were able to serve more than 30 of them.
