FAQ

Fifth, notice can be the visible presence on the property of a crop grown for human consumption that is under cultivation, in the process of being harvested, or marketable if harvested at the time of entry. Criminal trespass is normally a Class B misdemeanor with a fine up to $2,000 and a jail term up to 180 days.
Ind. Code § 35-43-2-2 provides certain instances where a criminal trespass is considered a Level 6 felony. In Indiana, a conviction for a Level 6 felony carries a prison term between six months and three years and a fine not exceeding $10,000 under Ind.

Trespass involves simply entering onto land without the consent of the landowner.
