No person shall throw or shoot any object, arrow, stone, snowball,
incendiary or explosive devise or other missile or projectile, by
hand or by any other means at any person or at, in or into any building,
home, street, sidewalk, alley, highway, park, playground or other
public place within the Village. No person shall manufacture, fabricate,
carry, possess, sell, give or use any type of incendiary or explosive
device or other device of a similar nature within the Village.
Whoever commits any of the following acts shall be subject to
the general penalty as provided in this Code:
A. Makes any comment, request, suggestion or proposal which is obscene,
lewd, lascivious, filthy or indecent;
B. Makes a telephone call, whether or not conversation ensues, with
the intent to abuse, threaten or harass any person at the called number
or numbers;
C. Makes or causes the telephone of another repeatedly or continuously
to ring, with intent to harass any person at the called number or
numbers;
D. Makes repeated telephone calls, during which conversation ensues,
solely to harass any person at the called number or numbers;
E. Knowingly permits any telephone under his/her control to be used
for any purpose prohibited by this section;
F. In conspiracy or concerted action with other persons, makes repeated
calls or simultaneous calls solely to harass any person at the called
number or numbers.
No person shall stand, sit, loaf, loiter or engage in any sport
or exercise on any public street, 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 or egress to or from any place of business or amusement,
church, public hall or meeting place.
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 taking flight
upon appearance of a police or peace officer refuses to identify himself/herself
or manifestly endeavors to conceal himself/herself or any object.
Unless flight by the person or other circumstances make 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/her to
identify himself/herself and explain his/her 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.
Any person who shall violate any provision of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a forfeiture as provided in §
1-2, General penalty, of this Code for each and every offense. Each day that the violation of this article continues shall be deemed a separate offense.
