This section is included in your selections.

A. A person commits the Class B municipal offense of criminal trespass if he intentionally, knowingly, or willfully:

1. Unlawfully enters or remains in or upon premises which are enclosed in a manner designed to exclude intruders or are fenced or if he unlawfully enters or remains in or upon the premises of a hotel, motel, bar, lounge, restaurant, condominium, or apartment building.

2. Unlawfully enters or remains in or upon any other premises or a motor vehicle.

3. Unlawfully enters or remains in or upon premises when he is not licensed, invited, or otherwise privileged to do so. A person who, regardless of his intent, enters or remains in or upon premises which are at the time open to the public does so with license and privilege unless he defies a lawful order not to enter or remain, personally communicated to him by the owner of the premises or some other authorized person in charge or control thereof. License or privilege to enter or remain in a building which is only partly open to the public is not a license or privilege to enter or remain in that part of the building which is not open to the public. A person who enters or remains upon unimproved and apparently unused land which is neither fenced nor otherwise enclosed in a manner designed to exclude intruders does so with license and privilege unless notice against trespass is personally communicated to him by the owner of the land or some other authorized person or unless notice forbidding entry is given by posting with signs at intervals of not more than four hundred forty (440) yards, or, if there is a readily identifiable entrance to the land, by posting with signs at such entrance to the private land or the forbidden part of the land.

B. As used in this section, “premises” means real property, buildings, and other improvements thereon.

C. Any criminal trespass under this section in which the premises are the dwelling place of another shall constitute a Class A municipal offense. (Ord. 200 §1, 1982; Amended Ord. 472 §5, 2003; Amended Ord. 713 §4, 2017)
