A.
Any act required to be performed or prohibited by any statute of
the State of Wisconsin which has been incorporated herein by reference
is required or prohibited by this chapter. Any future amendments,
revisions or modifications of the statutes incorporated herein are
intended to be made part of this chapter.
B.
For purposes of identification and reference, violations of this
chapter shall be described by first listing the ordinance number immediately
after which shall appear the statute number of the Wisconsin Statute
which corresponds with the violation (Example: 258.947.01 Disorderly
Conduct).
Reference to the term "person," "anyone," or like references
shall be deemed to refer to a person, a sole proprietorship, a partnership,
a corporation and also a responsible member or a responsible officer
or a responsible managing agent of any single proprietorship, partnership,
or corporation unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
Any person violating this chapter shall be fined not less than
$50 nor more than $1,000 for each offense. Imprisonment in the county
jail for up to 90 days can be ordered only for failure to pay the
fine that may be imposed.
Whoever does any of the following shall be, upon conviction, subject to a forfeiture as set forth in § 280-4:
A.
With the intent to frighten, intimidate, threaten, abuse or harass,
make a telephone call and threatens to inflict injury or physical
harm to any person or property of any person.
B.
With the intent to frighten, intimidate, threaten, abuse, harass
or offend, telephones another and uses any obscene, lewd or profane
language or suggests lewd or lascivious act.
C.
Makes or causes the telephone of another repeatedly to ring, with
the intent to harass any person at the number called.
D.
Makes repeat telephone calls, whether or not conversation ensues,
with intent solely to harass any person at the called number.
E.
Makes a telephone call, whether or not conversation ensues, without
disclosing his or her identity and with intent to abuse, threaten
or harass any person at the called number.
F.
Knowingly permits any telephone under his or her control to be used
for any purpose under this section.
Whoever does any of the following shall be subject, upon conviction, to a forfeiture as set forth in § 280-4:
A.
Dump, deposits, places, throws, abandons, or otherwise disposes of
any can, bottle, paper, debris, refuse or other solid waste material
in any public place or any property owned by the County of Rock and
or the Town of Milton, except by leaving in receptacles provided for
that purpose.
B.
Dumps, deposits, places, throws, abandons, or otherwise disposes
of any can, bottle, paper, debris, refuse or other solid waste material
on or along any highway, Town road, or on any private place.
A.
Prowling. 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 maybe considered in determining whether
such alarm is warranted is the fact the actor takes flight upon appearance
of a peace officer, refuses to identify himself, or manifestly endeavors
to conceal himself or any object. Unless flight by the actor or other
circumstances makes it impracticable, a peace officer shall, prior
to any arrest for an offense under this section, afford the actor
an opportunity to dispel any alarm which would otherwise be warranted,
by requesting the actor to identify himself and explain his presence
and conduct. No person shall be convicted of an offense under this
section if the peace officer did not comply with the proceeding sentence
or if it appears at trial that the explanation given by the actor
was true and, if believed by the peace officer at the time, would
have dispelled the alarm.[1]
B.
Curfew. No child under 18 years of age shall loiter, idle or remain,
and no parent or guardian shall knowingly permit his child or ward
of such age to loiter, idle or remain in or upon any of the streets,
alleys or public places in the Town of Milton between the hours of
11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. unless such child is accompanied by a parent,
guardian or some person of lawful age having legal custody of such
child. This subsection shall not be construed to prohibit such child
from performing an errand or duty directed by his parent or guardian
or cover cases of urgent necessity or from pursuing the duties of
his employment in an expeditious and orderly manner or from going
to or from places of business or amusement or private homes.
C.
Loitering and vagrancy prohibited. No person shall within the Town
of Milton loiter, loaf about any public building, place or premises
or wander about the streets, alleys, parks or other public places
either by day or night, whose actions give rise to a suspicion of
wrongdoing and who is unable to give a satisfactory account of himself
or who, having the physical ability to work, is without any visible
means of support and does not seek employment or who derives part
of his support from begging, prostitution, pandering, fortune telling
or as a similar imposter.
A.
Disorderly conduct prohibited. No person shall within the Town of
Milton:
(1)

(2)
Intentionally cause, provoke, or engage in any fight, brawl, riot,
or noisy altercation other than a bona fide athletic event or contest.
B.
Drunkenness. No person shall within the Town be drunk or intoxicated
so as to disturb the good order and quiet of the Town or be found
in any place within the Town in such a state of intoxication that
