Question

A.J. is a minority who is walking his dog in a city that has an ordinance to make sure people clean up after their dogs. Of course A.J. has never seen this ordinance enforced, so he just continues walking after his dog defecates. He doesn"t know that a rookie patrolman has been watching and observed him fail to clean up his dog's waste. A.J. walks around the corner to find a whole wall of freshly painted graffiti and spray paint cans on the ground. He picks one up to put it in the trash just as the patrolman is walking around the corner to give A.J. an ordinance violation ticket.

A.J. has just been arrested for destruction of property, and a municipal ordinance violation. He pleads with the patrolman and tries to tell him that he was just attempting to clean up the neighborhood. If his case was tried, where would it be found?
a. Civil court of general jurisdiction
b. State court of general jurisdiction
c. State court of limited jurisdiction
d. Civil court of limited jurisdiction
