BETHLEHEM, NY \u2014 A 65-year-old man was arrested at Bethlehem Central High School after police say he violated a court order barring him from school district property.<\/p>\n
Thomas J. Fris, of Selkirk, was taken into custody at approximately 4:58 p.m. on Oct. 16, 2026, according to the Bethlehem Police Department.<\/p>\n
Officers were investigating a complaint about an erratic driver in the high school parking lot when Fris approached them and stated he was trespassing on the property, police said.<\/p>\n
When officers attempted to speak with Fris, he became uncooperative and was detained, according to police.<\/p>\n
An investigation confirmed Fris was on school property in violation of a court order, police said.<\/p>\n
He was charged with obstructing governmental administration, criminal trespass and criminal contempt, all misdemeanors.<\/p>\n
Fris was processed and released with instructions to appear in Town of Bethlehem Court on Oct. 20, 2026.<\/p>\n
The court order prohibiting Fris from entering Bethlehem Central School District property stems from a prior incident involving multiple harassing telephone calls made to district offices, police said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BETHLEHEM, NY \u2014 A 65-year-old man was arrested at Bethlehem Central High School after police say he violated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":310705,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[153,155,154],"class_list":["post-310704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=310704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310704\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/310705"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=310704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=310704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
