COLERAIN TWP. - With a handful of angry parents and township residents voicing dissent, Colerain Township trustees voted 2-1 Tuesday night to approve a curfew for minors.
Starting at 12:01 a.m. on July 11, anyone under the age of 18 found outdoors between midnight and 5 a.m. will be subject to arrest. Those found in violation will be charged as an "unruly child" and taken to Hamilton County Juvenile Court.
The curfew comes as a reaction to crimes such as vandalism and malicious destruction.
The township granted nearly a dozen exemptions under the ordinance. Teens accompanied by a guardian won't be subject to the law; and anyone driving to or from a job will also be exempt. And if teen drivers are headed home or have an emergency, trustees said the law will not punish them.
