The Pembroke City Council passed an amendment to the curfew ordinance, adding ways violations of the curfew should be addressed by law enforcement during its regular meeting Nov. 13.

The ordinance now includes a citation for the first offense and possible detention for repeat offenses.

According to the amendment, "Upon repeat offenses, … the minor shall be detained and an attempt shall be made to contact the minor’s parent or guardian. Such minor shall be released to the parent or legal guardian or referred to the Juvenile Court for disposition if 16 years of age or younger, or taken to the Bryan County Detention Facility if 17 years old."
