No Trespassing At Bayard Rustin High School Stadium, Westtown

WEST CHESTER, PA —The Westtown East Goshen Regional Police Department reminds the public that trespassing inside the Bayard Rustin High School stadium is a criminal offense.

Police said they recently spotted trespassers disregarding the "No Trespassing" signs and entering the stadium by bending the bars in the fence.

This unauthorized entry is not permitted and is against the law. Under state law, the penalty for trespassing is up to one year in prison and a $300 fine.

The stadium is closed for safety reasons and to prevent vandalism to the property.

The West Chester Area School District has asked the police department to conduct regular checks of the school property and to issue citations if people are found inside the stadium.

The police said the goal is to inform everyone so they understand the rules and do not damage school property or illegally enter the stadium.
