Mayo v. City of Rainbow City

Robert Mayo, the appellant, was convicted in the municipal court of the City of Rainbow City of two offenses: cruelty to animals, a violation of Ala. Code 1975, § 13A-11-14, and criminal possession of a noxious substance, a violation of Ala. Code 1975, § 13A-7-28. For each offense, he was ordered to pay a fine of $100 and court costs.

The appellant appealed his convictions to the Etowah Circuit Court, where he was acquitted of the cruelty to animals charge, convicted of the possession of noxious substances charge, and fined $100. He raises four issues on appeal to this Court.
