Municipal Court

The Municipal Court is the judicial branch of the town government. The function of this court is to adjudicate all traffic, non-traffic and parking violations of town ordinances.

The court is presided over by the Honorable Judge Luwanna John.

Citations

An individual has the right to enter a plea of not guilty, nolo contendere, or guilty.  A plea of not guilty means an individual does not believe they committed the violation in which they are accused.  To enter a plea of not guilty, you must appear before the Judge on the date listed on your citation. You will then be required to post a bond and a new trial court date and time will be set. A plea of nolo contendere means not contesting the violation and results in a finding of guilt.  This plea is often referred to as a no contest plea.  A plea of guilty means admitting guilt and paying the established fine, fees and court costs. Both nolo contendere pleas and guilty pleas will require you to pay your fine at that time.
