A 42-year-old Ft. Wayne Indiana man was arrested for felony criminal trespass with a person present after allegedly entering a home near I-57 south of Salem.
Marion County Sheriff’s Deputies say Andrew Walker had parked his motorcycle along I-57 and walked into an area of houses along the 3800 block of Purcell Road. He eventually entered one of the homes where he saw a person sleeping on the couch with a dog. Walker reportedly began petting the dog which barked at him attracting another dog and a man from another room.
Walker was ordered to sit in the residence until a sheriff’s deputy arrived. When leaving the home, Walker reportedly thanked the residents for allowing him to pet their dog.
Walker was taken to the Marion County Jail to await a first appearance on the charge Wednesday afternoon.
