DENVER — The City of Denver will hold its third Fresh Start warrant clearance event this Saturday, May 11, at The Assessment, Intake, and Diversion (AID) Center of Denver, 1370 Elati Street, from 9 am to 1 pm.  A person is eligible if they have active warrants for one or more of the following:

• A Denver municipal case, including criminal traffic offenses
• A probation violation in a Denver County or Municipal Court case
• A failure to appear at a 2^nd Advisement in a Class 4, 5 or 6 non-Victim Rights Act (VRA) felony
