Full Breakdown
Springdale Code § 74-15 makes it unlawful for anyone under 18 to be on streets, sidewalks, parks, playgrounds or other public places, or riding in a vehicle, between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Parents who knowingly let a minor violate curfew face the same liability, and a minor's violation creates a rebuttable presumption the parent violated it too. Exceptions cover minors accompanied by a parent or authorized adult, coming home from work or a supervised activity, running a parent-approved errand, facing an emergency, or exercising First Amendment rights.
Violations & Fines
Violators face the Code's general penalty under § 1-9; officers may release a curfew violator to go home, escort them home, or deliver them to juvenile authorities.
