Criminal Trespass- Class C Misdemeanor requires which element?

• A. Entering or remaining on property of another after notice that entry was forbidden
• B. Entering or remaining on property of another without any notice or restriction
• C. Carrying a deadly weapon on premises
• D. Entering a vehicle with intent to steal

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is the notice element in Criminal Trespass. To be guilty of this Class C misdemeanor, a person must enter or remain on someone else’s property without permission after the owner has told them entry is forbidden (or after the property is posted with a warning). That notice turns a simple unauthorized presence into trespass. Since the scenario involves entering or remaining on the property after being told entry is forbidden, it satisfies this essential element.

The other options don’t fit because they describe different situations: carrying a deadly weapon on premises relates to weapon restrictions, and entering a vehicle with intent to steal is a theft-related offense, not trespass. Without the notice requirement, the act wouldn’t meet this specific trespass element.
