A hearing is scheduled Friday for Clarence Barr, who was arrested Monday for failing to pay the standard $10 fee to the Crime Victims Fund after his conviction on a misdemeanor domestic assault charge last year.
Barr pleaded guilty to domestic assault in the 3rd degree on October 5, 2016. He was sentenced to the 35 days he had already spent in jail, and released.
At that time, Associate Circuit Judge Keith Marquart waived court costs, but under the statute could not waive the Crime Victims Fund fee.
On November 7, Judge Marquart issued a warrant for Barr’s arrest for failing to pay the $10, and set bond at $10 (cash). Barr was arrested on Monday and has been in custody ever since.
The judge has scheduled a hearing on June 16 at 9 am. Officials say it’s possible Barr will then be given credit for time served again.
