Yes, but the trespassing charges were filed because he wouldn't leave a scheduled meeting until they granted his request to have his 5 year old exempted from certain classes. A charge doesn't prove guilt.

The charges sound like an abuse, to me. What constitutes criminal trespassing - and justifies an arrest and a night in jail - when there is a scheduled public meeting with an elected body?


Were there threats from the man? If so, he should have been arrested. Couldn't the board negotiate with him? For that matter, a smart group of adults would have simply closed the meeting and left him alone. Instead, they called the police and had him arrested.

What was so outrageous or extraordinary about his request that would lead them to refuse him, much less demand that he leave a scheduled meeting?

Wonder when the next
