My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio
I was caught trespassing at 1am. It was on a property I was evicted from. I had left a dog toy in the back yard, I couldn't sleep, and while sitting up I remembered where the toy was. I just went to look for it. It was dumb I know....what can I say. I have a court date and was wondering if I should just be honest and admit my guilt. The officer found the item where I said it would be, and he suggested I call the Realtor and explain to them, they in turn would talk with the "bank" owning the property who in turn may decide to say my trespassing was okay. I have no record and I have never been in any kind of trouble before. Just a stupid move on my part.
Thanks for any help you can give.
