Editor's note

To the extent that Charter § 94 relates to various officials of the police department, it is superseded by W. Va. Code §§ 8-10-1, 8-10-2, 8-10-4. See W. Va. Code § 8-1-6. This section is also invalid to the extent that it applies to other than ordinance violations. See W. Va. Code §§ 8-10-1, 8-10-2, 8-10-4; State ex rel. Hill v. Smith, 305 S.E.2d 771 (W. Va. 1983). See W. Va. Code § 8-1-6.
