[Amended 5-8-2012]
A.
Concealed
weapons. Only persons who have obtained a license to carry a concealed
weapon pursuant to § 175.60, Wis. Stats., as amended, may
carry within the Village a concealed weapon as defined therein, except
that no such weapon shall be brought onto any property where such
weapons arc excluded therefrom by application of law or where the
property has been posted as prohibiting weapons thereon.
B.
Discharge
of firearms. The term "firearm" means any instrument from or with
which a shot, bullet or pellet may be discharged or expelled, regardless
of whether the propelling force is produced by air, spring, or other
similar mechanical device or gunpowder, except that the term does
not include any BB or pellet gun or rifle or starter pistol. No person,
except a duly authorized peace officer, shall within the limits of
the Village fire or discharge any firearm in his or her possession.
C.
Weapons
and firearms prohibited. No person may openly carry any weapon or
firearm upon any location within the Village where such location has
been declared by applicable law to be free from the presence of such
weapons or firearms. All weapons and firearms shall be carried in
such containers and in such condition as may be required by applicable
law.
No person shall throw or shoot any object, arrow,
stone, snowball or other missile or projectile, by hand or by any
other means, at any person or at, in or into any building, street,
sidewalk, alley, highway, park, playground or other public place within
the Village.
Section 167.10, Wis. Stats., regulating the
sale and use of fireworks, exclusive of any penalty imposed thereby,
is adopted by reference and made a part of this chapter as though
set forth in full.
No person shall stand, sit, loaf or loiter or
engage in any sport or exercise on any public street, sidewalk, bridge
or public ground within the Village in such manner as to prevent or
obstruct the free passage of pedestrian or vehicular traffic thereon
or to prevent or hinder free ingress to or egress from any place of
business, public hall or meeting place.
No person shall make or cause to be made any
loud, disturbing or unnecessary sounds or noises which may annoy or
disturb a person of ordinary sensibilities in or about any public
street, alley or park or any private residence.
No person shall resist or interfere with any
officer of the Village while such officer is doing any act in his
official capacity and with lawful authority, nor shall any person
refuse to assist an officer in carrying out his duties when so requested
by the officer.
No person owning or operating any railroad or
any employee of the same shall unnecessarily blow or sound or cause
or permit to be blown or sounded any steam, air or power-driven whistle
on any locomotive or engine within the Village limits.
A.
Prohibited acts. 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
makes 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 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 person
was true and, if believed by the police or peace officer at the time,
would have dispelled the alarm.
B.
Obstruction of traffic. No person shall loaf or loiter
in a group or crowd upon the public streets, alleys, sidewalks, street
crossings or bridges or in any other public place within the Village
in such manner as to prevent, interfere with or obstruct the ordinary
free use of such public streets, alleys, sidewalks, street crossings
or bridges or other public places by persons passing along and over
the same.
C.
Loitering after being requested to move.
(1)
In groups or crowds. No person shall loaf or loiter
in a group or a crowd upon the public streets or sidewalks or in adjacent
doorways or entrances, on street crossings or bridges or in any other
public place or on any private premises without invitation from the
owner or occupant, after being requested to move by any police officer
or by any person in authority at such places.
(2)
In places of public assembly or use. No person shall
loiter, lounge or loaf in or about any store, public sidewalk, public
parking lot or other place of assembly or public use after being requested
to move by any police officer. Upon being requested to move, a person
shall immediately comply with such request by leaving the premises
or the area thereof.
(3)
Obstructing highways. No person shall obstruct any
street, bridge, sidewalk or crossing by lounging or loitering in or
upon the same after being requested to move on by any police officer.
Any person who shall violate any provision of this chapter shall be subject to a penalty as provided in § 1-4 of this Municipal Code. In addition to any penalty imposed for violation of § 943.01(1), Wis. Stats., any person who shall cause physical damage to or destroy any public property shall be liable for the costs of replacing or repairing such damaged or destroyed property. The parent of any unemancipated minor child who violates § 943.01(1), Wis. Stats., may also be held liable for the cost of repairing such damaged or destroyed property in accordance with § 895.035, Wis. Stats.
