Plain English: what this chapter covers
This is the city's general 'don't do it' chapter. It covers firing guns, loitering, noise, fireworks, juvenile and park curfews, disorderly conduct, littering, false burglar alarms and abandoned shopping carts. Most violations go to Ashburn Municipal Court.
Any person committing one or more of the following acts within the corporate limits of the city shall be guilty of disorderly conduct:
(1) Fighting or quarreling in such manner and in such place as to annoy or disturb the peace, quiet, comfort, or repose of persons in any office or any dwelling, hotel, or other type residence, or of any persons in the vicinity.
(2) Using any indecent, vulgar, obscene, threatening, or abusive language in or near a public place which has a direct tendency to cause acts of violence by the person to whom or of whom the remarks are addressed.
(3) Yelling, shouting, singing, chanting, or making any other loud noise by any means whatsoever, whether by voice, handclapping, stomping, or by mechanical means, on the public streets or other public property or in proximity thereto in such manner and to such extent as to annoy or disturb the peace, quiet, comfort, or repose of persons in any office or in any dwelling, hotel, or other type residence, or of any persons in the vicinity.
(4) Striking or attempting to strike another.
