Reporting Misdemeanor Crimes in Homewood


By Alabama law, police officers cannot arrest someone for most misdemeanor crimes unless they see the crime happen. The only exceptions are DUI, shoplifting, and domestic violence. For other misdemeanor crimes, the victim has to take the action:


  1. File a police report.
  2. Go before a court magistrate and give a sworn statement.
  3. Provide evidence so a warrant can be issued.
