There's authority for the proposition that an officer can arrest someone on suspicion of a misdemeanor committed outside of the officer's presence when the officer has reason to believe that the person's mental state is such that the person may harm himself or others if not taken into custody. The officers write that OC was "argumentative." What does that mean? I don't know.

Correct me if I'm wrong. If Dressler had heard the guard ask him to leave and disarm, and entered the store anyway he could very well have been convicted of the criminal trespass.

It doesn't show in this complaint, but the charge against Dressler was 2911.21(A)(1), not (A)(4). As a very wise attorney once pointed out to me, this section includes the phrase, "without privilege to do so".

While I can't speak for Mr. Dressler, Kroger constantly sends me invitations to visit their store.

:wink:

But said privilege can be revoked which it sounds like they did when they told him to leave.

And looking at the court's website, I would venture this was dismissed just to get the case over with. I've never seen so many motions filed on a single misdemeanor case before.

That doesn't apply under 2911.21(A)(1).

Nope. I believe the judge, prosecutor AND one of the police officers all have "past experiences" with Mr. Dressler and just had it out for him.

If they wanted it 'over with', they could have ended it a lot sooner than they did.

If anyone is in contact with this gentleman let him know I'd be glad to be an expert witness on his behalf.

2911.21 Criminal trespass.
(A) No person, without privilege to do so, shall do any of the following:

(1) Knowingly enter or remain on the land or premises of another;
How does it not apply? if privilege is revoked the element is met. When he entered he had privilege, when he was asked to leave he no longer had privilege to remain. What am I missing?
