Full Breakdown

Midwest City Code § 27-3(a)(20) lists rollerskating, rollerblading, or riding a skateboard upon school grounds, public businesses and their curtilages, or the municipal complex's sidewalks, courtyards and walkway areas, including the community center, city hall, library, fire department, police department and court, among the public nuisances enumerated in Chapter 27. Because Chapter 27 has no separate fine schedule of its own, a violation is punished under the Code's general penalty: a fine of up to $200 plus costs, imprisonment up to 30 days, or both, with each day of a continuing violation treated as a separate offense.
