What is it called when someone steps inside your house when you have told them not to?

Question

and also communicated a threat?

I called the police and the officer said it was (I don't remember exactly) but something like a class B misdeamenor but when I went to take a warrant out, the magistrate said only trespassing.

Answer 1

trespassing

Answer 2

Depends on where you live. Most likely it would be tresspassing or residential entry which are both misdeamenors depending on the severity of the crime.

Also depends on the threat that was made. if it was a felonious threat then it could even be construed as burglary. Burglary is defined as entering a dwelling with the intent to commit a felony. Hence once they entered your residence and made the felonious threat they have commited burglary.

This is not applicable in all jurisdictions but in many. More than likely if you can get your prosecutor to do anything at all your best bets the misdeamenor tresspassing

Answer 3

In NC it's 1st Degree Trespass (or possibly Domestic Criminal Trespass depending on the situation)

Answer 4

In Texas is called Criminal Trespass Class B Misd.

Answer 5

i think it depends on which state it happened in, as laws vary state to state.... however you should
go for the trespassing charge and seek a order of protection (because of the threat). with the proper paper work in place you will be able to better protect yourself.
PS. how sever was the threat? threatening to KILL someone is considered a terrorist threat and, is taken more seriously than the typical I'm gonna kick your butt thing. good luck!

Answer 6

Trespassing, Breaking and Entering, possibly assault (if the threat was taken as being imminent).

The police make prosecuting recommendations to the DA's office. However, absent compelling evidence, the DA may not prosecute according to those recommendations.

However, you may have redress in civil court.

Good luck!

Answer 7

they call that illegal entry.
which in ark and okla is a class b misdeameanor.
the reason they said trespassing is that somehow they lost the evidence in the case.

oh they stepped in and threatened you?

then that would be a class y felony.
seek an attorney if you know the individual and prosecute him.

Answer 8

Trespassing.....

Answer 9

It is tresspassing, why what did you think it was? You could inquire about terroristic threats but you need evidence that the threat occurred.

Answer 10
