Amnesty Day to be held this month by the Shreveport City Marshal's Office. Here's what you need to know
The Shreveport City Marshal's Office is hosting its annual amnesty day later this month.
On Saturday, June 21, the Shreveport City Marshal's Office will host its annual Amnesty Day from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Shreveport City Courthouse.
This will allow anyone who has outstanding warrants through the Shreveport City Court to have their warrants recalled and a new court date scheduled without fear of being arrested or additional fees.
Also, anyone with delinquent fines can get a new payment schedule.
According to the marshal's office, this is only for warrants and fines issued through Shreveport City Courts. Warrants that involve Domestic Abuse Battery, Battery of a Dating Partner, DWI's and probation will not be recalled and must post a bond.
Marshal James Jefferson encourages anyone who thinks that they may have an outstanding warrant or delinquent fines to take advantage of this opportunity.
Individuals must come in person with their ID.

Spring Valley, N.Y. man arraigned for crash that killed 4-year-old girl on sidewalk with family
The man arrested for a fatal crash in Spring Valley, New York that killed a 4-year-old girl and severely injured three of her family members pleaded not guilty at his arraignment. Axel Lopez-Santiago wore an orange jumpsuit to his court appearance Friday in Rockland County after being charged with DWI and aggravated vehicular homicide in the death of 4-year-old Goldy Eisenbach. Goldy Eisenbach Eisenbach Family Police said Lopez-Santiago, 41, was drunk behind the wheel during the June 14 crash on Old Nyack Turnpike, where the girl and her family were struck on a sidewalk while leaving Kennedy Park. He suddenly veered across the double yellow line and struck at least four people before crashing into a tree, investigators said. He also faces second degree manslaughter, assault and reckless driving charges. "Insane, traumatic and horrific scene" Lopez-Santiago sat in a wheelchair as prosecutors said his blood alcohol content was .19 -- more than twice New York's legal limit -- two hours after the crash. Police said Lopez-Santiago struck four members of Yisroel Eisenbach's family, including Goldy, his daughter. "It looked literally like a bomb. I see a stroller on end, a yarmulke, the wheel of the stroller on the other end, and the car between a gate and a tree. It literally looked like a bomb and I didn't know what happened," Eisenbach's said. "EMTs showed up. They are first on the scene. There are bodies everywhere. It is an insane, traumatic and horrific scene." "He destroyed many, many, many families," said Moishe Eisenbach. 3 crash victims, including 2 children, seriously injured Three of the people struck in the crash, including two other children, survived with serious injuries. An injured adult, named Abraham, remained hospitalized in critical condition with an array of broken bones. Abraham's wife, Trana Loeffler, was on the sidewalk the night of the crash, but not struck. She said seeing the suspect in court brought her to peace. "I had to see him in cuffs to be able to get him out of my face, out of my mind, o be able to sleep better at night, because I'm so scared of him. Now I see that he is in jail and he's not getting any bail, I'm more relieved," Loeffler said. Goldy Eisenbach Eisenbach Family Eisenbach said his daughter "always wanted to be a peacemaker, always had a smile on her face, and always wanted to make others smile." "It's not easy losing a loved one, especially a tragic incident like that," he said. Lopez-Santiago is due back in court July 19. contributed to this report.

Can the U.S. Make Drunk Driving Disappear?
'How to Get Away With Drunk Driving in the Hamptons' (WSJ. Magazine, June/July) glamorizes a justice system bent by wealth and access at a time when fatalities and injuries related to driving while intoxicated continue to devastate families. Edward Burke Jr.'s ability to reduce DWI charges to mere traffic tickets for celebrities and moguls also underscores a deeper systemic issue: While everyday citizens face license suspension, jail time or lifelong records for similar offenses, those with enough cash to afford 'country lawyering' get special treatment. Privilege may buy legal escape, but impaired driving doesn't check bank accounts. Its consequences hit rich and poor alike. Drunk driving injures or kills someone every 85 seconds, with related deaths up 22% since 2019. Through advocacy, policy and emerging technology, we have the power to end impaired driving for good. Congress passed the bipartisan HALT Drunk Driving Law in 2021, requiring federal regulation for anti-drunk driving technology to be included by automakers in all new vehicles—the same way cars come equipped with seatbelts and airbags today. When implemented, this innovation could prevent 10,000 deaths a year.

New Mexico Supreme Court orders a pause in the trial for two former firefighters accused of rape
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The rape trial against two former Albuquerque firefighters was scheduled to last all week, but has now been put on pause while the New Mexico Supreme Court determines whether the charges against them are valid. Aden Heyman and Anthony Martin are accused of sexually abusing a woman while off duty at a party. Story continues below Trending: Consulting company hired to create plan to redevelop New Mexico State Fairgrounds KRQE Investigates: Former APD officer tied to DWI scandal now working in Durango KRQE Investigates: 'DWI King' cashing in while his cases crumble Entertainment: Why is New Mexico a Netflix production hub? Investigators said Heyman, Martin and another former firefighter, Angel Portillo, took turns raping the woman in Martin's home before she escaped out of a window. Wednesday morning, Judge Britt Baca informed the court about the supreme court's decision. The jury has been put in recess until Friday, but as of now there is no mistrial. The supreme court is reviewing a claim by the defense, alleging the grand jury that indicted the defendants, did so based on flawed instructions by the state. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
