Nuisance Parties - What Are They?
No one ever thinks about a party
getting out of control, but it does and will happen, eventually. Nuisance
parties can happen anywhere and at anytime. They are not limited to college
towns, those over the age of 21, and can involve many situations and
circumstances. Understand the consequences before inviting those hundred or few
friends over for a "gathering."
A social gathering will turn into
criminal charges if or when it becomes uncontrollable. More specifically, a nuisance
party will exist if one or more of the following occurs:
•
Unlawful sale, furnishing or
consumption of alcohol;
•
public drinking or drunkenness;
•
public urination or defecation;
•
littering, fights, destruction of
property, loud noise or other forms of public disturbances; or
•
any other conduct that annoys or
endangers the public or results in obscene or indecent behavior.
A nuisance party citation typically
stems from local or city ordinances, and thus the fines and possible
repercussions can and will very from area to area. A party may get out of hand,
cops called, and individual's cited (including you the home owner), but that
does not mean that all hope is lost.
Remember, the Law Office of JoshJones is here for you day or night, no matter the party size, the age of the
client or crime committed.
