DWI defense in Arnold Municipal Court

Court information

Details above come from this court’s own published information. Courts change schedules, addresses and procedures — confirm with the court before relying on anything here for a court date.

What to know about this court

Afternoon docket, not evening

Court sits on specific Mondays at 1:30 p.m. Unlike most of the municipal courts in this region, this is a daytime setting — plan time away from work accordingly.

Appearance is not optional

The city states that if you do not come to court when summoned, you are subject to a warrant being issued for your arrest.

Continuances

“All continuances can only be granted by the court.” There is no informal rescheduling by phone.

Entry of appearance

Attorneys send an entry to the prosecutor’s office with the defendant’s name, case number, attorney credentials and a self-addressed stamped envelope.

Payment

Cash, money orders, certified checks and personal checks are accepted. Fines dated after January 1, 2022 are paid through courts.mo.gov.

Your license case is not heard here

Whatever happens in Arnold Municipal Court, the Missouri Department of Revenue is running a separate action against your driver’s license, and it does not wait for your criminal case. You have 15 days from the date your Notice of Suspension (Form 2385) was issued to request a hearing, and the Department states that missing it means no hearing and no further appeal. That track runs through the Department and, on review, the circuit court — not this municipal division. What to do about it →
