    If you are charged, you need an attorney big time. This is a FELONY. This has extremely severe implications, three years in jail and $100,000 fine is the maximum for this.

    No way to know what will happen. I don’t know all the facts of the case, and particularly what evidence the state has against you. The state must prove that you knowingly and unlawfully entered the dwelling of another in order to win conviction on a first degree trespassing charge. That won’t be too hard to do if they caught you in a building that was obviously a home and you had no consent to be there. This is a class 5 felony, so jail/prison time is certainly a possibility if you are convicted. Because this is definitely a serious offense, you really should get a good lawyer to represent you. Maybe you can get a plea deal down to some misdemeanor charge or otherwise lessen the severity of this, but your chances to that are much better if you have an attorney.
