Loitering in Pottstown, A Sign Of The Times?

Loitering has made Pottstown Patch news a lot lately.

A reader asked for more details regarding the ins and outs of Pottstown's loitering laws after we published a story about local police and their arrest of a man charged with criminal trespass. 

In response to the question, Pottstown Manager Jason Bobst said:

Loitering and prowling at nighttime, which was part of the incident that occurred that night, is defined as whoever "at nighttime maliciously loiters or maliciously prowls around a dwelling house or any other place used wholly or in part for living or dwelling purposes, belonging to or occupied by another."
