Roy Justice Court Information
The City of Roy handles many misdemeanor prosecutions through the Roy
Justice Court. While class A misdemeanor and felony charges must be
heard in the district court, the Roy Justice Court has jurisdiction
over misdemeanor charges at the class C
and class B
level that take place inside the borders of Roy, Utah.
The penalties for a class B misdemeanor can include 180 days in the
Weber County Jail and nearly $2000 in fines (including surcharge). For
a class C misdemeanor, the court can impose penalties that include 90
days jail and over $1400 in fines (including surcharge). In addition to
jail time and financial penalties, some misdemeanor convictions can
result in the loss of a driver license, restrictions on the defendant's
right to carry a firearm, and a variety of probation conditions. Some
misdemeanor convictions can also be used in subsequent cases as a basis
for enhancing a new criminal charge to the felony level.
While it may be tempting to treat a justice court misdeanor case
lightly, the consequences can be serious and consultation with an
experienced criminal defense attorney is strongly advised.
