Domestic Violence Awareness – Active Warrants for Arrests

Reprinted in its entirety from a press release issued by Florence Police:

This year as of August 31, 2009 Florence has had 72 incidents of domestic violence with and without abuse. During the same period last year we experienced 94 incidents. These are all too many incidents of domestic violence and as a community we need to drive these numbers down.
In conjunction with Domestic Violence Awareness Month the Florence Police Department is making the community aware of the various warrants for the arrest of persons whose initial incident was some type of Domestic Violence offense as defined in the Abuse Prevention Act. This could be Assault IV, Harassment, Menacing, and violation of No-Contact Orders.
Warrants are public records as they are issued publically in open court by a magistrate. There are 24 warrants on this list, one for a female responsible. There are 9 Failure to Pay Fine Warrants, 9 Failure to Appear Warrants, 4 Warrants of Arrest, 1 Violation of Probation Warrant, and 1 Failure to Comply Warrant, all for Domestic Violence incidents.
