"There are both criminal and civil trespass laws....
Civil trespass requires that the landowner initiate a private
enforcement action in court to collect any damages for which the
trespasser may be responsible (regardless of whether a crime has been
committed)."
You do know that laws vary from state to state, and this site's blanket
definitions may not be true in all states.
Yes, I know they vary but, while I don't know for a fact, I suspect
the basics are similar because the problem is similar.
I also suspect the idea came from his lawyer which, having been
charged, I presume he's retained.
Look. Trespass is a crime. That means that IF it has been committed,
the authorities are obligated to site the offender.
Good luck on arresting someone for walking across the corner of your
yard.

Dropped the charges after I got an apology from the Sheriff.
