DUI Frequently Asked Questions #3
Question:
Where will court be?
Answer:
If you were ticketed by city police, most likely your case will be heard in the municipal court for that city. For example, if you were pulled over by the Overland Park police department, your case will most likely be heard in the Overland Park Municipal Court. However, municipal courts do not have jurisdiction to hear felony charges. Therefore, your case may be scheduled in the Johnson County District Court, even if you were pulled over by Overland Park police. If you were ticketed by the County Sheriff, your case will most likely be heard in the County Courthouse. Your ticket or order to appear should tell you where your court is. To be certain, call the phone number on the ticket to inquire.
