This means Illegal hotel operations in residential communities to continue in Bethlehem. By choosing to postpone the hearing he failed to enforce a law put in place by the city of Bethlehem & failing to do his job.

But it was issued after Woodmansee had responded to the citation. It was a totally unnecessary cost by an MDJ trying to take care of one of his boys. And dancing around? You don't ID yourself and only seem to give a shite whether the constable gets his pound of flesh. There's a much bigger question here.
