South Ogden Justice Court Information
The South Ogden
Justice Court has jurisdiction over misdemeanor charges at the class C
and class B
level that take place inside the borders of South Ogden, Utah. Felony
and class A offenses must be heard in the Ogden District Court. But
most lower-level misdemeanor charges can be handled through the justice
court.
Consequences of a misdemeanor conviction in the South Ogden Justice
Court can be serious. A class B misdemeanor carries potential penalties
including 180 days in the Weber County Jail and fines of nearly $2000
(including surcharge). A conviction for a class C misdmeanor is
punishable by up to 90 days in jail and more than $1400 in fines
(including surcharge). Additional consequences can include the loss of
a driver license, loss of the right to carry a firearm, and a variety
of probation conditions that may be imposed by the court.
It may be tempting to treat a justice court misdemeanor case lightly.
But a conviction can have lasting consequences. Consultation with an
experienced criminal defense attorney is strongly advised.
