Municipalities – public nuisance — uncut lawns
Dwayne Pasternak appeals a forfeiture judgment for violating Forest County’s nuisance ordinance. Pasternak argues the evidence was insufficient to establish that his uncut lawn constituted a public nuisance. He also argues the circuit court erred by failing to allow him to present a defense. We conclude the evidence supporting Pasternak’s conviction was insufficient. We therefore reverse and remand with directions to vacate the judgment and dismiss the citation. This opinion will not be published.
