Complaint and Affidavit for Criminal Trespass under Texas Penal Code Section 30.05(a)(1)

STATE OF TEXAS

COUNTY OF [Insert County]

BEFORE ME, the undersigned officer, on this day personally appeared, [Your Name], who being duly sworn, deposes and states as follows:

I am a peace officer employed by [Insert Agency or Department], and I am authorized to investigate alleged criminal activity. I have personal knowledge of the following facts, which are within my official knowledge and which I believe establish probable cause that a violation of Texas Penal Code Section 30.05(a)(1) (Criminal Trespass) has occurred.

Parties Involved

Complainant (Victim): Frodo B. Gamgee (fictitious character from Lord of the Rings)

Suspect: Gollum (fictitious character from Lord of the Rings)

Officer Name: [Your Name]

Preliminary Statement

On or about [date], at approximately [time], I received information that Gollum was unlawfully on the property located at [address or location], owned or occupied by Frodo B. Gamgee. Based on my investigation and observations, I believe Gollum unlawfully entered or remained on the property, and such entry or remaining was without the effective consent of Frodo B. Gamgee. This constitutes criminal trespass under Texas Penal Code Section 30.05(a)(1).

Factual Basis for Probable Cause

At approximately [time], I responded to the scene at [location], where I observed Gollum near the perimeter of Frodo B. Gamgee's property. I conducted an interview with Frodo B. Gamgee, who reported that Gollum was unlawfully on the property and refused to leave despite being asked to do so. I observed Gollum hiding behind a bush, attempting to conceal himself from my observation.

Further investigation revealed that Gollum entered the property without permission, as evidenced by the absence of any notations or signs indicating consent or permission. I personally observed Gollum refusing to leave after lawful commands were given, which led me to believe that he knowingly remained on the property in violation of the law.

Legal Basis and Request for Arrest

Based on the above facts, I believe there is probable cause to believe that Gollum committed criminal trespass on the property of Frodo B. Gamgee as defined under Texas Penal Code Section 30.05(a)(1). Therefore, I request that an arrest warrant be issued for Gollum for the offense of criminal trespass.

I swear or affirm that the foregoing information is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.

Subscribed and sworn to before me on this ___ day of __________, 20___.
