Rule 2.5. Sufficiency of the Charging Document

No charging document shall be deemed insufficient for failure to contain a definite statement of the essential facts constituting the specific violation the defendant is alleged to have committed if the charging document contains either a written description of the violation or a reference to the section of the City Code or Title 28 of the Arizona Revised Statutes alleged to have been violated. However, a judicial officer may require additional clarifying language when deemed appropriate. Failure to comply may result in dismissal of the charging document without prejudice.
