Myrtle Beach Bike Rally attendees are being ticketed. What they are charged with
As bikers ride in for the Myrtle Beach Bike Rally, some have received noise violations. And with the upcoming weekend, which is expected to be the busiest of the rally, motorcyclists should be aware of noise ordinance laws. This also goes for Memorial Day weekend, when the Atlantic Beach Bike Week begins. Myrtle Beach Police have arrested at least two people for noise violations since the beginning of the Myrtle Beach Rally, which goes through Sunday, according to the Myrtle Beach Police event map. One person was arrested at 4:20 p.m. on Saturday and the next at 9:21 p.m., public records show. Both were arrested in downtown Myrtle Beach near North Ocean Boulevard and 9th Avenue North. It's unclear if police apprehended bikers. The Sun News requested the police reports from the incidents. Georgetown County Sheriff's Office issued one ticket for a noise violation since the start of the rally, said department spokesperson Jason Lesley May 14 in an email to The Sun News. Horry County Police do not yet know how many noise ordinance tickets have been issued, said spokesperson Mikayla Moskov in an email May 15 to The Sun News. Myrtle Beach, Horry County and Georgetown County have similar noise ordinance laws. Murrells Inlet, where much of the rally takes place, is split between Horry and Georgetown counties. North Myrtle Beach, where part of Atlantic Bike Week takes place, also has a noise ordinance that prohibits the racing of engines. All municipalities ban the unnecessary honking of horns, loudspeakers and loud exhausts. Horry County and Myrtle Beach specifically ban 'burnouts.' Police consider factors like volume, time of day and if complaints have been made when deciding to write a ticket or arrest a person, Moskov said.
