ESPN radio host Ryen Russillo, host of The Russillo Show on ESPN, was arrested in Wyoming today for criminal entry.
Under Wyoming law, the offense, which is similar to trespassing, is explained as the following:
(a) A person is guilty of criminal entry if, without authority, he knowingly enters a building, occupied structure, vehicle or cargo portion of a truck or trailer, or a separately secured or occupied portion of those enclosures.
(b) It is an affirmative defense to prosecution under this section that:
(i) The entry was made because of a mistake of fact or to preserve life or property in an emergency;
(ii) The enclosure was abandoned;
(iii) The enclosure was at the time open to the public and the person complied with all lawful conditions imposed on access to or remaining in the enclosure; or
(iv) The person reasonably believed that the owner of the enclosure, or other person empowered to license access to the enclosure, would have authorized him to enter.
The crime is punishable by imprisonment for up to six months and/or a fine up to $750.
Russillo is obviously not hosting his radio show today, with Will Cain sitting in for him.
