The 49-year-old township resident was picked up Tuesday around 4:30 p.m. in the 100 block of South Kenwood Drive in Bristol Township’s Levittown section after a call from a neighbor to 9-1-1. The caller reported the man was trespassing at the property.
The home has been boarded up for weeks after being deemed uninhabitable and the man was told previously not to be at the property.
Officers arrived and found the man standing in the driveway with a beer in his hand, police said.
