KOB-TV.com - Santa Fe officials are issuing a warning, pay your parking tickets on time or face the possibility of going to jail. Eyewitness News 4 learned Monday that city officials have been working with Santa Fe's municipal court to set up a program that could result in bench warrants for those who ignore parking tickets. "People are just not taking them as seriously as they should," said Santa Fe's parking division manager, Jacqueline Lucero. Lucero said currently the city is owed around $2 million in unpaid parking fees. The city will continue to mail out citation information and if fines are not paid within 15 days, they will double in costs. The city will then mail out another notice for a court
date. If the fine continues to go unpaid, the court will issue a criminal summons. At that point, if a violator does not show up for court in response to the criminal summons, a bench warrant may be issued by the judge for failure to appear. The process from citation to bench warrant could take as little as three months.
