1) You can respond to the citation by pleading guilty to the offense and mailing your fines and costs to District Court by following the directions on the rear of the citation.
2) You can respond to the citation by pleading not guilty to the offense and request a hearing before the District Justice by following the directions on the rear of the citation. A date and time will then be mailed to you from the District Justice so you will be able to have a summary hearing on the citation. The officer who issued you the citation will be present at the hearing to present evidence for the Commonwealth and you will have an opportunity to present your defense.
