Homeless campers ticketed again
Police handed out two more tickets for alleged unlawful lodging Wednesday night at a homeless demonstration camp in front of City Hall, and arrested a man wanted on a felony weapons warrant, spokesman Zach Friend said.
On Thursday morning, Samuel Muller, 28, was arrested for a Fresno-generated warrant for a weapons violation, Friend said. Muller initially gave officers a false name, Friend said.
A group of homeless people began camping in front of the county courthouse on July Fourth and then moved to City Hall last week.
Protesters are seeking a change to a city code which prohibits sleeping outside between 11 p.m. and 8:30 a.m.
On Wednesday, for the second night, police kept large floodlights shining on the camp. They said the lights are for added security.
