Rule 9. Amending the Complaint
(d) Where there is a conflict between the written description and the statutory or local ordinance, charter, rule, or regulation designation of a violation, the descriptive text takes precedence unless doing so would prejudice a defendant's substantial right or such action would result in a criminal charge. If a judicial officer is unable to determine what violation is charged, the charge must be dismissed without prejudice and the issuing agency notified.
