The town was fining the land owner because of the squatter not properly disposing of human waste.

He was living on property he did not own.
He had a verbal agreement with the PREVIOUS owner to live there.
The owner SOLD the property to someone else who asked him to LEAVE.
He had NO LEASE or anything of a legal nature giving him any rights to be on the property.

I believe he was arrested for trespassing after being given several verbal and written warnings.

The putative owner is 87 years old. So it could be his greedy wannabe heirs.
