Man Facing Arrest in Ordinance Violation Case

A Dacula man charged with operating an illegal business out of his home is now facing jail time after failing to show for his Jan. 18 court date.

Clifford Triplett was scheduled to appear in the Municipal Court to answer charges he had violated city ordinance by operating a pallet construction business out of his home.

Dacula Municipal Court Judge Bill Brodgon issued the warrant with a $500 bond.

In issuing the warrant, Brogdon said it is important people comply with city ordinances when operating a business.

Two traffic violation cases were also on Tuesday night’s docket.

Blake Lancaster was due in court to answer charges he failed to obey a traffic control device by making a turn prohibited by signage. Lancaster was not present when the court calendar was called. His license will be suspended for failure to appear, Brogdon said.

In the other case, Benjamin Greer pled no contest to a moving violation. Dacula City Marshall Steve Cline advised the judge that Greer was very polite and cooperative during the traffic stop and admitted the violation. Greer was fined $105, but no points were assessed on his license.

The City of Dacula Municipal Court is held on the third Tuesday of each month at Dacula City Hall. Court begins at 5 p.m.
