Criminal Trespass
Under Arkansas law, a person commits criminal trespass by entering or remaining on a property (or a vehicle) without permission from the owner. Trespass does not require intent to commit a crime, making it a less serious offense than burglary or breaking or entering.
If no aggravating circumstances are involved, the crime is a class C misdemeanor. A person convicted of a class C misdemeanor faces up to 30 days in jail and a fine up to $500. When the property is a residence or commercial building that may be occupied, the crime increases to a class B misdemeanor. Class B misdemeanors can be punished by up to 90 days in jail and a fine up to $1,000.
