§ 6-28. Handling of complaints.

Latest version.

When a complaint is filed that an offense has been committed in violation of this article, the municipal judge may issue a summons instead of a warrant at the request of the city attorney. If a defendant fails to appear in response to the summons, a warrant shall issue. The summons shall be served upon a defendant by delivering a copy to him personally or by leaving it at his dwelling house or usual place of abode with some person of suitable age and discretion then residing therein, or by mailing it to the defendant's last known address.
