No person shall willfully, maliciously, or wantonly deface, injure or destroy any public property or any private property. Likewise, a parent or legally appointed guardian of any minor who shall fail to exercise reasonable care so as to prevent such minor from intentionally damaging public or private property or from conducting himself in such a manner as may reasonably be calculated to result in damage to any of such property shall be deemed to have violated this section, and such parent or guardian shall be personally liable to the owner for such damage, subject to the limitations imposed thereon by § 895.035, Wis. Stats.
A. 
It shall be unlawful for any person to trespass upon the property or buildings belonging to another person without the permission of the lawful owner or occupant.
B. 
It shall be unlawful for any person to permit any animal belonging to him, or under his control, to trespass upon the property belonging to another person without the permission of the lawful owner or occupant.
[Amended 6-13-2006 by Ord. No. 2006-4]
A. 
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 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 person or other circumstances make it impractical, a 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 to identify himself and explain his presence or conduct. No person shall be convicted of an offense under this section if the 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 peace officer at the time, would have dispelled the alarm.
B. 
No person shall loaf or loiter:
(1) 
In a public or private place conspicuously posted "No Loitering."
(2) 
Upon a public street, alley, sidewalk, street crossing or bridge or in any other public place within the Village in such a manner as to prevent, interfere with, or obstruct the ordinary free use of such place by persons passing along and over the same.
(3) 
In groups or crowds in or upon public or private premises after being requested to move by any police officer or by any person in authority at such place.
No person shall stand, sit, loaf, or loiter or engage in any sport or exercise on any public street, sidewalk, 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.
[Amended 6-13-2006 by Ord. No. 2006-4]
No person shall throw any glass, rubbish, waste or filth upon the streets, alleys, highways, public parks or other property of the Village, or upon any private property not owned by him/her, or upon the surface of any body of water within the limits of the Village.
[Amended 3-8-2005 by Ord. No. 2005-3]
A. 
Whoever issues any check or other order for the payment of money of not more than $2,500 which, at the time of issuance, he or she intends shall not be paid is guilty of a violation of this section.

(1) 
Proof that, at the time of issuance, the person did not have an account with the drawee;
(2) 
Proof that, at the time of issuance, the person did not have sufficient funds or credit with the drawee and that the person failed, within five days after receiving notice of nonpayment or dishonor, to pay the check or other order; or
(3) 
Proof that, when presentment was made within a reasonable time, the person did not have sufficient funds or credit with the drawee and the person failed, within five days after receiving notice of nonpayment or dishonor, to pay the check or other order.

This section does not apply to a postdated check or to a check given in past consideration, except a payroll check.
