Overview
- The City Council approved a 9:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew for all ages in the Oceanfront area on select weekend nights in April.
- The covered zone runs from Rudee Loop to 31st Street near Pacific Avenue and the Boardwalk and includes exemptions for hotel guests, diners, and attendees of permitted events.
- Attorney Tim Anderson filed an emergency lawsuit in Virginia Beach Circuit Court seeking a temporary restraining order to block enforcement.
- The complaint cites Virginia's Dillon Rule and SB1455 and argues local leaders can only impose a single 24-hour curfew for an imminent civil disturbance.
- City officials said they will defend the ordinance as a public-safety measure as police continue the April 11 shooting investigation with a third arrest confirmed.
