Sec. 34-51Persons refusing to give bond
Plain English: what this chapter covers
This chapter lays out how Ashburn's municipal court runs: when it meets, how tickets and summonses get served, what happens if you miss court, and how bonds work. It also sets up the court-appointed defense lawyer and city prosecutor positions, and the extra charges added on top of fines. If you ever get a city citation, this is the chapter that explains the process.
If any arrested person or necessary witness shall fail to give the bond and security required of him/her, such person so refusing may be confined in the county jail or kept under guard so as to be present at trial or to testify, as the case may be.
This is a plain-English guide, not legal advice. The official code is on Municode and at City Hall. Our copy is from April 30, 2026.
