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.
Any police officer of the city shall arrest and confine in the county jail, when necessary, any offender against of the city, where such arrest and confinement is necessary to secure such offender's appearance before the to answer for an offense, or where it is necessary to preserve the peace and good order of the city, or such police officer may take bond as otherwise provided in section 19-50 of this chapter.
