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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
When officers tried to speak with him further, police said Fris became uncooperative. He was detained by officers.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Police said Fris was processed and released with instructions to appear in Town of Bethlehem Court on Tuesday, Oct. 20.<\/p>\n
The order barring Fris from Bethlehem Central School District property came from an earlier case involving multiple harassing phone calls to district offices.<\/p>\n
