A transient was arrested at the Lincoln County Fair over the weekend after he refused to leave despite warnings from deputies.

At around 1:50 p.m., on July 26, deputies with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office received a complaint of an intoxicated transient at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds causing problems.

Deputies met with 51-year-old Larry Williams and escorted him from the fairgrounds with a warning not to come back.

At around 2:50 p.m., deputies received another complaint that Williams had returned and was in a barn on the west side of the property.

Deputies confronted Williams and placed him under arrest for trespassing.

As they were walking him back to a patrol car, officials say Williams began cursing and physically resisting deputies.

Williams then allegedly kicked the door of the patrol car, causing damage.  He was then placed in leg restraints and transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center with no further problems.

Williams has been charged with trespassing, criminal mischief and resisting arrest.
