Citations

Your signature on a citation is not a guilty plea, it is a promise to appear in court.

You must appear in court no earlier than two (2) days and no later than the date printed on the citation. A phone call is not an appearance.

All juveniles (under 17) MUST appear before the judge (judge is available on Wednesdays only) with a parent or legal guardian. All minors (under 21) who receive a citation for alcohol or tobacco offenses MUST appear before the judge.
