Charlotte City Council votes to re-criminalize eight city ordinances after months of debate.
The measure passed by a vote of 7-3 , with council members Tiawana Brown , Renee Johnson and Lawana Mayfield voting against it.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police will now have the authority to issue criminal citations to or arrest people violating ordinances on public masturbation, public urination and defecation.
Mayor Pro Tem Dante Anderson : "We have to continue to move forward with that continuum of care while also holding individuals accountable" Some who opposed the ordinances shouted “shame” at council members who voted in favor of the changes.
Some uptown residents said they support help for people experiencing homelessness, but also have concerns about their own health.
