Four Homeless Individuals Arrested For Trespassing – One Jumps Out of Window to Escape

Around 7 in the morning on Tuesday, July 30th, Cortland Police responded to 78 Tompkins Street in the City of Cortland for a report of several people trespassing inside the vacant apartment building.

Police say a worker who went to the property to do work heard people inside the building and called 9-1-1. As Cortland Police arrived on scene, one suspect jumped out the window in an attempt to escape. Another tried to lock himself inside a closet.

In total, four people were arrested by Cortland Police for Criminal Trespass in the 3rd, a Misdemeanor. They were 49 year old Heath L. French, 61 year old Sheila M. Murray, 32 year old David A. Crevatas, and 61 year old Timothy W. Kelly.

All four were issued appearance tickets and were released. They are due in Cortland City Court later this month.
