[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
Grafton as Title 9, Part IV, Ch. 9.44, of the 1979 Code. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
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 actor 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 actor or other circumstances makes it impracticable, a police
or 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 him to identify himself
and explain his presence and conduct. No person shall be convicted
of an offense under this section 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 actor was true and, if believed
by the police or peace officer at the time, would have dispelled the
alarm.
[Amended by Ord. No. A-420-82, 1982]
It shall be unlawful for any student who is under suspension,
expulsion or other discipline excluding him for attending any school

not a student presently enrolled to attend such schools or not an
employee of such schools, or not a parent or guardian of a student
so enrolled, or not an otherwise authorized person, to be present

of the School Board without first having secured authorization to

a Village of Grafton parking citation that regulates parking or may
be towed away at the direction of the school principal or person in
charge. The Police Department may also have any vehicle towed away
which, because of its location, creates a hazard to life or property.
D.

paid.
