The Municipal Court Judge has authority
to issue warrants for the apprehension and arrest of persons
charged with the commission of an offense, issue search warrants and
emergency protection orders, hold preliminary hearings, discharge
an accused, or remand the accused to jail and set bail.

of drug paraphernalia and minor in possession of tobacco products.
