Joseph M. Johnson, III v. State of Indiana
01A02-1501-CR-25
Criminal. Affirms conviction of criminal trespass, a Class A misdemeanor. Rejects the argument by Johnson, a Decatur attorney, that the trespassing statute is unconstitutional as applied in his case. Finds Johnson did stand in the threshold of his former girlfriend’s apartment. She had repeatedly asked him to leave her alone. Concludes Johnson’s belief that he had a right to stand in the doorway of his girlfriend’s apartment and that she did not have the authority to order him to leave is not reasonable.
