It shall be unlawful for any person to discharge
or throw by any means any dangerous missile, object, arrow, stone,
snowball or other missile within the Village of Siren; provided, however,
that, upon written application to the Chief of Police and Village
Board, a person may be granted permission by the Village Board to
construct and maintain supervised archery ranges if, in the opinion
of the Village Board, the construction or maintenance of such ranges
will not endanger the public health and safety.
Whoever commits any of the following acts shall be subject to the general penalty as provided in §
1-4 of this Code:
A. Makes any comment, request, suggestion or proposal
which is obscene, lewd, lascivious or indecent.
B. Makes a telephone call, whether or not conversation
ensues, with the intent to abuse, threaten or harass any person at
the called number or numbers.
C. Makes or causes the telephone of another repeatedly
or continuously to ring, with intent to harass any person at the called
number or numbers.
D. Makes repeated telephone calls, during which conversation
ensues, solely to harass any person at the called number or numbers.
E. Knowingly permits any telephone under his control
to be used for any purpose prohibited by this section.
F. In conspiracy or concerted action with other persons,
makes repeated calls or simultaneous calls solely to harass any person
at the called number or numbers.
No person shall sell, expose or offer for sale, use, keep, discharge or explode any fireworks, except toy pistol paper caps, sparklers and toy snakes, within the limits of the Village unless he shall be authorized by a fireworks permit as provided in Chapter
298, Fireworks, of this Code. The term "fireworks" as used in this section shall be defined as provided in § 167.10(1), Wis. Stats., and shall be deemed to include all rockets or similar missiles containing explosive fuel.
No person shall loiter or prowl in a place,
at a time or in a manner not usual for law-abiding individuals under
circumstances that warrant alarm for the safety of persons or property
in the vicinity. Among the circumstances which may be considered in
determining whether such alarm is warranted is the fact that the person
takes flight upon appearance of a police or peace officer, refuses
to identify himself or manifestly endeavors to conceal himself or
any object. Unless flight by the person or other circumstances make
it impracticable, a police or peace officer shall, prior to any arrest
for an offense under this section, afford the person an opportunity
to dispel any alarm which would otherwise be warranted by requesting
him to identify himself and explain his presence and conduct. No person
shall be convicted of an offense under this subsection if the police
or peace officer did not comply with the preceding sentence or if
it appears at trial that the explanation given by the person was true
and, if believed by the police or peace officer at the time, would
have dispelled the alarm.
It shall be unlawful for any person to fail
to obey the direction or order of a police officer while such police
officer is acting in an official capacity in carrying out his or her
duties.
