Juveniles -
All juveniles (under the age of 17) are required
to appear with their parent/guardian before the Municipal Court Judge regarding
their citation. (Check Judge’s Hours) Failure of a parent/guardian to appear
with a juvenile constitutes a separate misdemeanor offense by the parent.
Juveniles who fail to appear in court may have an additional charge of failure
to appear filed against them and their driver’s license will be suspended. All
juveniles will be held accountable for their actions.
Juvenile Community Service -
Upon conviction of offenses such as curfew violations,
criminal mischief under $50, and disorderly conduct, the judge will surely
sentence juveniles to Community Service. (Juveniles are subject to additional
sentencing as well). Other violations such as minor in possession of alcohol,
tobacco, or drug paraphernalia, and public intoxication will be subject to
suspension of driver’s license, related awareness classes, and community
service (Juveniles are subject to additional sentencing as well). Juvenile
Community Service is held the first and third Saturdays of each month.
