Aggressive panhandling can now be criminal behavior if it happens near Roanoke's outdoor dining spots or if it bothers people waiting in line. The city council voted unanimously Monday to add those places to a list of a half-dozen other situations in which solicitation is also illegal and punishable with a Class 2 misdemeanor, which carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $1,500 fine. Other cases in which solicitation is prohibited include doing so near a bank, at a bus stop, in a median, on an entrance or exit ramp or in any case in which it's done aggressively.
