OUTSTANDING FINES
Warrants to be issued in traffic fine cases
Las Vegas Justice Court will begin issuing warrants to people with outstanding traffic fines starting Sunday.
Las Vegas Constable Bobby Gronauer said Friday that constables will start serving warrants for the 194,000 people with outstanding fines.
The announcement was made after the Justice Court offered a traffic ticket amnesty that waived penalties for outstanding fines, but not the fines themselves.
The warrant amnesty program lasted about three months. It brought in $5.4 million, according to the court.
Those with outstanding traffic fines should have been informed through the court that they needed to pay their fines.
For more information, call Justice Court at 702-671-3444 or toll free at 1-877-455-1289.
The traffic office is on the first floor of the Regional Justice Center, 200 Lewis Avenue.

CALIFORNIA FACILITY
African elephant born at San Diego Zoo
An African elephant has been born at the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park.
Zoo spokeswoman Yadira Galindo said the male calf born early Friday is doing great and is nursing frequently from his mother, Umngani (oom-GAH'-nee).
The calf, as yet unnamed, was born with 2-year-old big sister, Khosi (KOH'-see) nearby.
The park's African herd has produced six calves since it arrived from Swaziland in 2003. Zoo officials said five have survived.
The birth comes shortly after the death last month of the park's oldest elephant, Sunita, an Asian elephant who had lived there since 1974. She was euthanized after more than a year of failing health.
