An affidavit and statement of facts filed in Kettering Municipal Court state that Truesdale entered the home without the homeowner’s consent and then refused to leave.
Truesdale and the homeowner were known to each other.
Police said he exited the home about four hours later after the SWAT team deployed two types of gas into the home.
