A 32-year-old transient man was arrested in the area of Gibson Avenue Thursday evening on a misdemeanor trespassing crime after refusing to leave a men’s homeless shelter after being trespassed.
According to the report, deputies were dispatched to the homeless shelter on a report of an unwanted subject around 8:30 p.m. Thursday night and met with the house proctor, who reported the man had been trespassed from the location two weeks ago.
The proctor said the man was trespassed after he told a female property manager to “shove a dildo up her ass,” and was now refusing to leave after having been asked.
Deputies spoke to the man and told him he was trespassed from the property and needed to leave. According to the report, the man became aggressive and refused to leave the property, stating that “he owned the land because he was Native and that meant he had every right to be on the property,” according to the report. He also stated that he was exercising his first amendment right.
Deputies told the man several more times he was on state property and needed to leave, he took a fighting stance, clenching his fists and flexing his arms while challenging deputies, according to the report.
He also stated he wanted to “start problems” with the deputies and asked “if I punch you, do I get to go to jail?” because he had nowhere to go and “wanted free meals and a place to stay,” according to the report.
An additional deputy arrived on scene and the man immediately began to challenge him as well, according to deputies. After multiple attempts to get him to leave, deputies told the house proctor that the man was refusing to leave and the house proctor stated he wished to have the man arrested.
Deputies placed the man in handcuffs and transported him to the jail without incident.
Bail: $242
