Question

Country: United States of America
State: Indiana

I got a noise ordinance fine a couple of years ago. I didnt go to court because I moved before the summons got there. Now I have a warrant for that county and I need to know what I'm in for. What does an infraction followed by failure to appear in court end up with as far as penalties. I want to take care of it but if it means I will be in jail then there's no deal. They tell me to pay them a bond and then go to court but what will happen in court? I thought they would give me a fine anywhere up to $500 but can jail time accompany that even if you dont have a record? I'm really distressed and just found this out today.

Answer

They are not normally going to give jail time for a noise issue, especially if you voluntarily appear to resolve this-

As for proposed curbs on disruptive yelling and singing overnight, public drunkenness, or gatherings of strangers who don't respect neighbors' need for peace and quiet, there are already many laws on the books to curb such behavior, including those covering trespassing, disturbing the peace, keeping a disorderly house, being a minor in possession of alcohol, and a noise ordinance.
That way, they can avoid noise ordinance issues altogether.
Some of the recommendations include limiting the number and days of permits and changes to the noise ordinance.
