(KMZA)--Misdemeanor drug cases in Seneca will now be prosecuted through municipal court instead of through district court.
On the recommendation of Police Chief Jordan Weaver, the Seneca City Council last week approved an ordinance making the change.
With an increase in the number of drug cases in the last couple of years, Weaver said he felt the city should do their own cases. He said the city had about 20 misdemeanor drug cases last year, and are looking for that to increase this year.
Weaver says most cities prosecute misdemeanor drug cases through municipal court.
City Attorney Martin Mishler will handled prosecution of the cases.
Felony drug cases will still be prosecuted through district court.
