40-18.1-12. Action for violation of ordinance in corporate name - Previous prosecution, recovery, or acquittal no defense. An action brought to recover a fine, enforce a penalty, or punish a violation of a city ordinance must be brought in the corporate name of the city as plaintiff. A prosecution, recovery, or acquittal for the violation of a city ordinance may not constitute a defense to any other prosecution of the same individual for any other violation of the ordinance, notwithstanding that the different claims for relief existed at the time of the previous prosecution and if united, would not have exceeded the jurisdiction of the court.
40-18.1-13. Summons to issue on violation of ordinance - When warrant of arrest to issue. An action for a violation of an ordinance is initiated by a uniform complaint under section 29-05-31 or a complaint in compliance with the North Dakota Rules of Criminal Procedure. If there is probable cause to believe a criminal offense has been committed by the individual charged, an arrest warrant must be issued, except a municipal judge may issue a summons instead of an arrest warrant if the municipal judge has reason to believe the individual charged will appear in response to the summons. An individual arrested under a warrant must be taken without unnecessary delay before the municipal judge to be tried for the alleged offense.
