[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
All forms of gambling, lotteries, and fraudulent devices and
practices are prohibited within the Village. Any peace officer or
police officer of the Village is hereby authorized to seize anything
devised solely for gambling or found in actual use for gambling within
the Village and to dispose thereof after a judicial determination
that said device was used solely for gambling or found in actual use
for gambling.
No person shall keep a disorderly house or house of prostitution
within the Village.
Any of the following are vagrants and shall be subject to the
penalties of this chapter:
A.
A person, with a physical ability to work, who is without lawful
means of support and does not seek employment.
B.
A person who loiters or prowls commits a violation if he loiters
or prowls 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 actor takes flight upon appearance of a peace officer,
refuses to identify himself, or manifestly endeavors to conceal himself
or any object. Unless flight by the actor or other circumstances make
it impracticable, a peace officer shall, prior to any arrest for an
offense under this subsection, afford the actor an opportunity to
dispel any alarm which would otherwise be warranted by requesting
him to identify himself and explain his presence and conduct. No person
shall be convicted of an offense under this subsection if the peace
officer did not comply with the preceding sentence or if it appears
at trial that the explanation given by the actor was true and, if
believed by the peace officer at the time, would have dispelled the
alarm.
C.
A prostitute who loiters on the streets or in a place where intoxicating
liquors are sold or a woman who, in a public place, solicits men to
commit a crime against sexual morality.
D.
A person known to be a professional gambler or known as a frequenter
of gambling places or who derives part of his support from begging
or as a fortune teller or similar imposter.
A.
No person shall use any indecent, vile, profane, or obscene language
or conduct himself in any indecent or obscene manner within the Village.
It shall be a violation of this subsection for any person to sell,
give away or distribute within the Village any obscene show or exhibition.
No person shall within the Village sell, offer for sale, or
give away or exhibit any obscene book, pamphlet, paper, card, picture,
toy or device.
No person shall obstruct any street, bridge, sidewalk, or crossing
by lounging or loitering in or upon the same after being requested
to move on by any police officer.
No person shall loaf or loiter in groups or crowds upon the
public streets, alleys, sidewalks, street crossings or bridges or
in any other public places within the Village in such manner as to
prevent, interfere with or obstruct the ordinary free use of said
public streets, sidewalks, streets, street crossings and bridges or
other public places by persons passing along and over the same.
[Amended 8-2-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-04]
A.
No person shall loiter, lounge, or loaf in or about any depot, theater,
dance hall, restaurant, store, public sidewalk, public parking lot
or other place of assembly after being requested to move. A person
must immediately comply with such request by leaving the premises
or area thereof at the time of the request.
B.
Any person except a student of the particular school, parent or guardian
of such student, or teacher or other employee of the school who, without
a lawful school-related purpose therefor, willfully loiters on or
about public or private school buildings, premises or grounds in the
Village of Mishicot during the period from one hour before the opening
of classes until one hour following the close of classes on any day
when the school is in session, or during other times when a school-sponsored
activity is in progress, shall be in violation of this section.
C.
A student of the particular school who is on school grounds but who
is not in attendance at an assigned class at any particular time shall
be in violation of this section.
D.
A person who has been suspended or expelled from the school shall
not be considered a student of the school during the period of such
suspension or expulsion and is prohibited from being present on or
about any private or public school building, premises or grounds at
any time through the period of such suspension or expulsion absent
express authority from an authorized representative of the school.
A.
No person shall consume alcohol beverages or possess an open container of alcohol beverage in front of a Class B liquor and beer tavern premises. In addition to cans and bottles, "container" shall include a cup, glass, and all other vessels which contain any amount of alcohol beverage. The expression "in front of" shall mean the immediate area in front of the tavern and the area in close proximity to the tavern. The purpose of this section is not to prohibit a resident from consuming an alcohol beverage in front of his residence but is to prevent patrons of a Class B liquor and beer tavern premises from carrying, possessing, and/or consuming alcohol beverages outside of the tavern. This section does not apply to water or soft drinks but only to those drinks which contain an alcohol beverage as defined in Subsection B.
B.
Definitions. As used in this section, the term "alcohol beverage"
shall include all ardent, spirituous, distilled, or vinous liquors,
liquids or compounds, whether medicated, proprietary, patented or
not, and by whatever name called, as well as all liquors and liquids
made by the alcoholic fermentation of an infusion in potable water
of barley malt and hops, with or without unmalted grains or decorticated
and degerminated grains or sugar, which contain 1/2 of 1% or more
of alcohol by volume and which are fit for use for beverage purposes.
