A subpoena is a legal order to appear in court at a specific date and time. Subpoenas are only issued when a defendant pleads not guilty and wishes to have a trial. The court may issue subpoenas to complainants, witnesses and victims at least 5 days before the defendant's court date.
Only the Municipal Court Prosecutor may dismiss pending charges.
If a complaining witness or victim wishes to have charges dismissed, an appointment must be scheduled by contacting the Prosecutor's office between 12:30PM-4:00PM Monday-Friday at (816) 316-4955.
