Is there a Curfew in Lake Township? 

Yes. The Uniontown Police & Lake Township Board of Trustees have and hereby do recognize and determine that there are unruly, loud (and sometimes destructive) minors at large in the unincorporated areas of the township including the area comprising the Uniontown Police District and that these juveniles are causing disturbances to the peace and/or property of the inhabitants of the Township; and whereas, these juveniles are at large after sundown causing their apprehension and detention to be more difficult;  

     Uniontown Police Department and Lake Township Board of Trustees  have authority pursuant to Section 505.89 of the Ohio Revised Code to adopt a curfew for persons under eighteen years of age.

     A Curfew is hereby established within the unincorporated area of Lake Township comprising the territorial jurisdiction of the Uniontown police district to wit: nine square miles of the northwest portion of Lake Township, consisting of all of Sections 4,5,6,7,8,9,16,17 & 18 for persons under eighteen years of age within that unincorporated area of Lake Township between the hours of Midnight and 05:00AM.

     During the hours of Curfew in said area these minors shall be at their house or if elsewhere shall be accompanied by an adult member of their family or some adult designated by their family to accompany said minor.  Family members shall include mother, father, adult brothers or sisters or adult relatives of the minor, or other adults officially charged with the minor's conduct.  This Curfew shall not apply to persons under eighteen years of age who are going directly to or coming directly home from a place of employment.

 

Violators of this Curfew shall be charged as being an unruly child and taken before the Stark County Juvenile Court as provided in Chapter 2151 of the Ohio Revised code.
