St. Petersburg Courts and Arrests

Many people are surprised to learn that even though St. Petersburg has its own courthouse, the St. Petersburg Judicial Building on First Avenue North, most Pinellas County criminal cases are handled at the Pinellas County Justice Center in Clearwater. Depending on the charge, a case may be in county court (generally misdemeanors) or circuit court (generally felonies).

Arrests in St. Petersburg are often made by the St. Petersburg Police Department or the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office. Attendance at court dates is often required and should be assumed mandatory unless the court or your attorney explicitly says otherwise.
