A Cortez man who was cited or arrested seven times in January for trespassing at City Market and the Cortez Public Library was arrested last week for DUI.
Harry L. Bylilly, 46, is in custody at Montezuma County Detention Center on a $10,000 cash or surety bond. He faces charges of driving under the influence, driving under restraint and failure to show proof of insurance.
Bylilly has an indefinite trespass notice from City Market from February 2014 and was issued a six-month trespass notice from the Cortez Public Library on Jan. 9 when a library employee called to request police trespass him from the facility.
On Jan. 16 at about 10:30 a.m., Bylilly was issued a summons for trespassing at the library. About 30 minutes later, the same officer found Bylilly trespassing at City Market. He was taken to jail.
Bylilly again picked up two new charges on Jan. 27. At about 3 p.m., two officers saw Bylilly in the parking lot of City Market and cited him for trespassing. Three hours later, an officer was called to City Market on a trespass complaint for a different person but saw Bylilly at the entrance of the grocery store.
He was taken to jail, but first was medically cleared at Southwest Memorial Hospital because he was intoxicated. Two days later, Bylilly was cited for trespassing at the Cortez Public Library.
Bylilly appeared in Montezuma County Court briefly on Wednesday and is scheduled for a pretrial conference next week.
