What is the name of your state? Ohio.
About one month ago me and two people were on a walk in the woods. There were no "No Trespassing" or "Private Property" signs anywhere. After about five minutes into the walk there was a man and his daughter in the woods near a golf cart. The man goes instantly ballistic, and starts shouting for us to come over. We go over willingly, and he then calls the police. The police arrive a few moments later while we are calming the man down and talking to him about what happened. They Run up and shouting at us to "Get on the fu**ing ground!" and proceed to cuff us and walk us back to their cars. Then we are told he is pressing charges for "Criminal Trespass". "2911.21 Criminal Trespass. Knowingly enter or remain on the land or premis of another without privilege to do so."
I plead not guilty because there was no notification that the property was private, it could have been owned by my friends housing community for all I knew.
Am I going to be found guilty.
I am representing myself.
ANY advice would be greatly appricated.
thank you.
