It is illegal to enter or stay on property knowing you have no permission and when your presence will cause fear for someone's safety, or when you damage property to get in or damage things while there. This is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 11 months 29 days in jail and a $2,500 fine. The charge is enhanced to a Class A misdemeanor (from Class B) if committed on a hospital building, school property, or state property. It becomes a Class E felony (1-6 years prison) if committed on a residential property of a law enforcement officer, military member, judge, or elected official with intent to harass them because of their status.

Penalty: Class A misdemeanor; 11 months 29 days; fine up to $2,500
