In the run-up to the Fourth of July holiday, Montgomery police warned that anyone caught setting off illegal fireworks in the village would be met with a zero tolerance policy.
And though Patch heard a few complaints from residents, it turns out the village handed out just seven local ordinance violation tickets for illegal fireworks, according to Police Chief Daniel Meyers.
Meyers said this is a typical amount of tickets around the holiday. In fact, he even broke down the amount of tickets handed out dating back to 2006.
- 2006-6
