BETHLEHEM, N.Y. (WNYT)- A Selkirk man was arrested after police said he violated a court order that barred him from Bethlehem Central School District property.

Bethlehem police said officers arrested Thomas J. Fris, 65, at about 4:58 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16, after they responded to Bethlehem Central High School.

Police said officers were investigating a complaint about an erratic driver in the school parking lot when Fris approached them and said he was trespassing on the property.

When officers tried to speak with him further, police said Fris became uncooperative. He was detained by officers.

The investigation later confirmed Fris was on school property in violation of a court order. He was charged with obstructing governmental administration, criminal trespass and criminal contempt, all misdemeanors.

Police said Fris was processed and released with instructions to appear in Town of Bethlehem Court on Tuesday, Oct. 20.

The order barring Fris from Bethlehem Central School District property came from an earlier case involving multiple harassing phone calls to district offices.
