Unauthorized explosion…

Downtown residents were treated to a surprise fireworks display Saturday night. The show followed the completion of a wedding and reception at the Jeffersonian Institute. Jefferson Police said the fireworks display did not receive proper approval from City Council before the show started. The fireworks company who put on the show was issued a citation. JPD would like to remind people that it is illegal to use fireworks inside the City Limits without Council approval under City Ordinance 42-3.
