Dear LawGuru Friend,

The answer is yes. However, you should make

an inquiry from both the City Prosecutor and/or City

Court, as well as from the District Attorney and/or

District Clerk of Court (Orleans Parish Clerk of Court,

Criminal Division) and at least ask whether such

prosecutions are handled under a state statute or

a parish/city ordinance. Either way, then you should

go to the Parish and/or City Library and ask for help.

Also, you can call the Louisiana Supreme Court Library

ask the Librarian there is he or she will help you

obtain a copy of the ordinance or statute. Further, I

will help you, if you will just e-mail me your phone

number where you can be reached, your e-mail address

and/or your home mailing address.

Looking forward to hearing back from you, I am

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, J.D.
