OSSIPEE — An Ossipee woman was arrested Monday for trespassing on her own land after the town and a judge deemed it a public nuisance.
Carroll County Circuit Judge Melissa Vetanz had ordered Christine Harris, 67, to vacate her property where she was keeping from 50-100 birds, including ducks, chickens and geese, as well as several dogs.
