Those who have cases pending in the Associate Division of Grundy County Court will have their cases continued due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, but some defendants may choose to plead guilty and/or pay their fines without going to court.
The Missouri Supreme Court has suspended all unnecessary in-person court due to the outbreak and those who were scheduled to be in the Associate Division court at the Grundy County Courthouse on Tuesday, April 14 have had their cases continued to Tuesday, May 12. Those who have previously entered a guilty plea and entered into a court ordered-agreement to pay but are on the docket for payment due may pay that balance prior to May 12. If that occurs, the defendant would not need to appear in court May 12. The defendant can pay by calling 877-222-4668 and providing their name, case number, credit/debit card and total fine/cost amount. Use the code 1142. Amother option is to mail a check or money order payable to Gundy County Courthouse, Associate Division, 700 Main St., Suite 6, Trenton, MO 64683.
Grundy County Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Puckett has mailed out correspondence to all defendants who are eligible to dispose of their case without making a court appearance. Those who wish to enter a plea of guilty and pay the ticket WITHOUT making a court appearance can pay by calling the number listed above and providing that information OR by using the form included in the letter that asks the defendant to mark “Guilty Plea to the original charge” or “Guilty Plea to amended charge.” Payment will need to be enclosed and the defendant must sign the form before mailing it to the courthouse at the above address.
Anyone with questions can contact the associate court at 660-359-4040 ext. 2260.
