BRIGHTON, Mich. (AP) — A critic of a proposed charter school in Brighton has been arrested for trespassing at an open house event hosted by the school's organizers.
Glenn Ikens tells WHMI-FM (http://bit.ly/1B1KVjK ) he attended Saturday's gathering at the former Lindbom Elementary School so he could learn more about the proposed curriculum planned for the school that will be in his neighborhood.
He says he was told he wasn't welcome and police were called. He was booked on a misdemeanor trespassing charge and released on $500 bond.
Jay McNally, a spokesman for the proposed Livingston Classical Academy, says Ikens' past criticism of the school and its founder was enough to warrant his removal. McNally says Ikens has repeatedly given inaccurate information about the proposed school.
Ikens says he had every intention of being respectful.
