Rainey v. City Indianapolis

A complaint was filed in the Municipal Court of Marion County in which, after amendment, it was alleged that appellant, in violation of General Ordinance 49, 1943, of the City of Indianapolis, parked his automobile on the southeast side of Massachusetts Avenue at a time and place prohibited by said ordinance, and judgment for $300.00 and imprisonment for 180 days, the maximum penalty named in said ordinance, was prayed in said complaint. Appellant demurred for want of facts and his demurrer was overruled. He thereupon entered a plea of not guilty, but was convicted by the court and fined $2.00 and costs and the costs were suspended. Thereupon appellant appealed to the Marion Circuit Court and renewed his demurrer. The demurrer again was overruled and evidence was heard, including certified copies of the ordinances involved and the facts concerning his appearance before the traffic violation bureau. Appellant again was found guilty and fined $10.00 and costs, from which judgment this appeal has been taken.
