Getting arrested in Exton
Exton is in West Whiteland Township, so most arrests are made by the West Whiteland Township Police. Nearby Uwchlan, East Whiteland and Downingtown have their own departments. All of these cases fall under Chester County.
Most stops happen on the Route 30 Bypass, Lincoln Highway, Pottstown Pike (Route 100), Route 113 and Route 202 toward Malvern. Retail theft from the shopping centers along Route 100 and Route 30 is another common charge here.
What happens next
Cases start with a summons or preliminary arraignment, then a preliminary hearing at the local magisterial district court. If the case is held for court, it moves to the Chester County Justice Center, about fifteen minutes away in West Chester.
For first offenses, Chester County ARD can end in dismissal and expungement. The District Attorney decides who gets in. If ARD is not available, we start by examining why you were stopped and how the testing was done.
You work directly with attorney John Gentry from the first call to the last court date. Your case is not handed off to someone you have never met.
