Meridian Police asked to patrol Meridian woman's home after playground arrest
MERIDIAN, Idaho (CBS2) — Meridian Police has been adding additional patrols at a Meridian woman's home after her trespassing arrest this week.
A spokesperson tells CBS2 that officers were asked to provide additional patrols for Sara Brady, who was arrested after police say she failed to comply with officer's orders to leave a Meridian playground.
Brady will give a statement in front of the Meridian Police Department Friday afternoon:
"We try to accommodate these requests as much as possible depending on our call load. Everyone’s safety is important to the Meridian Police Department," the spokesperson said. "We hope everyone respects the private homes and families of our community. There is no reason to disrupt anyone’s privacy."
Brady, 40, was arrested and charged with one count of misdemeanor trespassing.
Officers said they informed several people gathered on the closed playground equipment that they could move to the other areas of the park. The playground was wrapped with caution tape and signage announcing the playground was closed due to COVID-19.
Meridian officers say they made several attempts to help Brady adhere to the rules and that she was not complying with the requests.
Brady's home wasn't the only one visited after the incident.
Ammon Bundy, along with a crowd were parked outside of the arresting officers house.
