Springdale's curfew ordinance — Ordinance No. 4562, adopted January 24, 2012 and effective February 24, 2012 — applies to minors under 18 in public streets, alleys, parks, or other public places. Curfew hours are 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday. A 45-minute grace period applies to minors traveling directly home, and standard exceptions cover minors accompanied by a parent or guardian, traveling to or from lawful employment, attending or coming home from a supervised school, religious, or civic activity (including high-school games and late-running extracurriculars), or responding to a genuine emergency. Springdale Police enforce the ordinance, generally after a primary offense or articulable concern, and parents who knowingly permit violations may be cited. Cases are heard in Springdale District Court and serious matters can be referred to Washington County Juvenile Division under A.C.A. §9-27-301+.
A violation typically brings a written citation in Springdale District Court; subsequent violations escalate, and parents who knowingly permit violations face fines. Patterns may trigger Washington County juvenile probation under A.C.A. §9-27-301+. The minor is not booked into adult detention.
