No address on trespassing ticket. Can i get it dropped?

[Bigd300]

I received a summons to appear in court on a ticket from 2 years ago for 4th degree misdemeanor charge for criminal trespassing. All the ticket says is "In that the said (my name), without privilege to do so, did unlawfully and knowingly enter on the land of another." It has the officer's signature but the Complainant's name, address, and phone number are blank. No address to where the said crime occurred. Can i get it dropped because of this or it doesn't matter? Thank You.

No matter WHAT the state, you need an attorney.

There is no reason to think that that would be a fatal flaw in the ticket. As Zigner said you need a lawyer.

Ohio. I was in court once where a gentlemen was already in jail. He was picked up on a warrant and was intoxicated and charged with public intoxication and the judge dropped it because there was no address on the ticket to say where the crime was committed.

There's no crime of public intoxication in Ohio. Disorderly conduct is likely the charge and only a minor misdemeanor. Since you can go to JAIL for a fourth degree (and not for a minor), I'd seriously suggest you get an attorney.

I can't vouch for what you heard once in court, but I don't think you're getting off based on just that. Further, you're likely to have other problems if you blew off an earlier required appearance.

That is irrelevant.

What should only concern you are the facts relevant to your case.

What would be relevant is: were you trespassing? Did you know that you were trespassing? Mind you, for criminal trespassing, the answers to such questions should be to your lawyer, not strangers on an internet forum.

just trying to get an idea sir. If i don't have to get a lawyer if something can just be dropped then i won't. I don't know if i trespassed or not. There is no address to the place i supposedly trespassed. I have never been told in my life that i am not allowed back somewhere so knowing where i supposedly trespassed would help determine the facts in this accusation.

Never blew off an appearance never got anything in my life that had to do with trespassing until today. Like i said this was supposedly happened 2 years ago. If i blew off an appearance i would think i would have been cuffed and taken to jail for a bench warrant but all i was given was a summons to appear with the ticket for trespassing with no indication of where.

You said that you got a TICKET. You knew where you were when you got the ticket.
Stop posting on the internet and find an attorney.

The ticket from 2 years ago was given to me today for the first time, Smarty, along with the summons. Again i have never been told in my life by a cop or anyone that i wasn't allowed back to anywhere. If you would like to pay for me to get an lawyer then i would be more than happy to do that. If you don't like people posting on the internet (FORUM) then don't read or better yet how about YOU stop posting on the internet.

seeing you have posted 77,000 messages i would say you need to get a life other than POSTING on the internet.

I am an Ohio attorney and was going to help you out. But then you do this. I have posted more than Zigner but heck apparently I need a life and not waste time helping you for free.

Go back and read what you posted and then apologize.

Or don't - my advice still stands. Stop the blabbing on the internet and tell it to your attorney.

When i'm trying to get information on something i don't know about and someone is telling me to stop posting on the internet. That's what a forum is, is it not? I guess if the shoe fits......
