Which statutes govern criminal trespassing?

• A. ARS 12-3301
• B. ARS 4-101
• C. ARS 13-1501 to 13-1504
• D. ARS 13-1401 to 13-1404

Answer: (C)

Criminal trespass in Arizona is defined and punished under a specific group of sections in the Arizona Revised Statutes that cover unlawful entry or remaining on another person’s property and break that conduct into different degrees. Those sections run from 13-1501 up to 13-1504, with general trespass and the three escalating degrees detailing the elements and penalties for each situation. So the statutes that govern criminal trespassing are ARS 13-1501 to ARS 13-1504. The other statutes listed pertain to topics other than trespass and do not establish the offense.
