Which scenario does not require the $5 arrest fee?

• A. The arrest fee is required for all citations resulting in conviction.
• B. The offense of failure to appear (initiated by complaint) does not require the arrest fee.
• C. The arrest fee is required only when there is a warrant.
• D. The arrest fee is never required in any case.

Answer: (B)

Arrest fees are charged for situations involving a real arrest or an arrest-related action, not for every kind of filing. The offense of failure to appear initiated by complaint typically does not involve an actual arrest tied to that offense, so the $5 arrest fee does not apply there. In many other cases, the fee can apply when an arrest occurs or when a warrant leads to an arrest, and it isn’t limited to convictions or to warrants alone. So, this scenario—failure to appear by complaint—does not require the arrest fee, making it the correct choice.
