A 37-year-old landscaper, Michael Brown, has been charged with multiple offenses after allegedly throwing a large unauthorized party at a former client’s vacation home in Weddington. According to authorities, Brown invited ‘several hundred people’ to the home on June 2, where he had previously worked. He allegedly waited for the homeowners to be away and charged entry fees, claiming the property was his. Police arrived after multiple noise complaints and found Brown denying ownership, eventually leading to his arrest following a series of lies.
Brown was taken into custody and booked into the Union County Detention Center, where he was reminded he was a guest, not a resident. He was later released on bond, though no attorney was immediately available to represent him. The incident highlights the legal consequences of unauthorized use of private property, as well as the potential for such actions to lead to serious criminal charges. Authorities emphasized the importance of respecting property rights and the legal boundaries that individuals must adhere to. The case also underscores the role of law enforcement in addressing community disturbances and ensuring public safety. With the potential for such actions to escalate into more severe crimes, the case serves as a reminder of the legal repercussions of disregarding property laws.
