Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) is an early intervention program offered to first-time offenders with non-violent charges like DUI and possession. When ARD requirements are not met, a warrant is issued for that person’s arrest. The nearly 300 people that are wanted for not completing (ARD) programs now have the opportunity to clear their warrants.

The Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office is offering those people the chance to lift their warrants and get a new court date, but the deadline is Friday.

The police are asking for defendants to contact the office at 412-350-4709 to set up a time discuss their options.
