Morrisville also does not have a local ordinance about drug arrests, borough solicitor Stephen Needles said. I guess other municipalities will be watching them to see how it works. Any person who shall violate any subsection of this ordinance may be charged with the offense of disorderly practices and on conviction thereof, may be found guilty of disorderly practices. If any sentence, clause, section or part of this ordinance is for any reason found unconstitutional or invalid, such unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect the remainder of the ordinance, it being the express intention of the council of Tullytown that such an ordinance would have been adopted without such parts which are found to be unconstitutional or invalid. A vote on whether to lessen the penalty for pot possession is expected.
Police say the new ordinance is a crime-fighting tool.
