Foreclosure, leins, abandonment and imprisonment for weeds?
The County Tax man found me in another state and notified me of the sheriff sale of my property for taxes and Ward (thank you!) explained how I could still enter the property to reclaim some personal belongings. However, today I received a letter (the cops found me too) from the local police department where my property is, that I am in violation of their local weed ordinance 418 and that if I do not pay all the costs involved, I can go to jail for up to ten days. I have already booked a flight with my frequent free miles and reserved a room at the motel across the street from my property so that I can easily go in and out to take care of my final work there. So, now, must I fear the local police car pulling up and handcuffing me for violation of this ordinance? It reads: PENALTY FOR VIOLATION: Any person who shall violate or fail, neglect or refuse to comply with any provision of this ordinance shall be guilty of a violation, and for each and every such violation, upon conviction thereof, shall be senteneced to pay not more than $25, costs of prosecution, and, in default of payment thereof, TO IMPRISONMENT FOR NOT MORE THAN TEN DAYS. And I thought I was swimming in civil law vs. criminal law matters. Jailed for weeds?
