Cheyenne Title 9 public peace ordinances prohibit aggressive solicitation involving threats, blocking pedestrians, panhandling near ATMs, or persistent following, while protecting passive sign-holding solicitation as protected speech.
Cheyenne Code Title 9 includes provisions against aggressive solicitation defined as begging accompanied by threatening conduct, physical contact, blocking pedestrian passage, or following someone after refusal. Solicitation near banks, ATMs, parking pay stations, and bus stops is also restricted. Following Reed v. Town of Gilbert and subsequent cases, Cheyenne cannot ban passive panhandling or sign-holding outright as that constitutes protected speech. Cheyenne Police enforce through citations or arrests for repeat offenders. Downtown Cheyenne and the Capitol area see most enforcement activity. Resources are coordinated through Comea Shelter and Wyoming Behavioral Institute.
Aggressive solicitation involving threats, blocking, ATM-area panhandling, or persistent following after refusal triggers municipal citations, possible arrest, and trespass enforcement.
