A resident of Shelter House was charged with trespass after refusing to leave the facility last week.

The incident occurred on May 20^th at the Southgate Avenue facility. 58-year-old Scott McIlhenny  was asked to leave by staff. He reportedly refused to leave, and reportedly took off his pants to try to keep staff away from him.

Officers arrived on scene to remove McIlhenny, but he ignored their requests by unleashing a barrage of insults, including an “eff-you.”  He was subsequently arrested for trespassing. A non-jury trial is scheduled for August 3^rd.
