Unofficial St. Patrick's Day Information from the Urbana Police Department

Date: March 6, 2015 (All day)

The Urbana Police Department will have zero tolerance when responding to calls of loud parties and disorderly and intoxicated subjects. We ask that apartment complexes strictly enforce lease violations and address problems associated with this event.

Some Urbana City Code Violations and Fines to keep in mind:

Purchase/Possession/Consumption of Alcohol by Minors- $300

Consumption and Possession of Liquor on Public Property- $165

Depositing Garbage/Waste on Property of Another- $165

Loud Noise Prohibited- $215

It is important that residents be aware of the Illinois Social Host Law (235 ILCS 5/6-16(c))

Individuals can be arrested and face criminal charges for simply allowing or permitting individuals under the age of 21 to drink alcohol at their residence or on their property- even if the individual did not directly supply or provide the underage person with alcohol.

Can be arrested and charged with a Class A Misdemeanor.

Face fines of at least $500.

Can be charged with a Class 4 Felony if the violation directly or indirectly results in great bodily harm or death to any person.

The Urbana Police Department, along with our counterparts at the U of I and Champaign Police Departments will be taking a zero tolerance approach. Don’t let one act of indescretion ruin your future.
