The latest incident occurred at 203 Burrell Street. Browning resides on 6th. Already this year, Browning has been convicted of Criminal Trespassing to Land from an incident on March 10th. In that case, he was found guilty, given 2 years conditional discharge, a 6 month stayed jail sentence, and fined. On March 14th, Browning was charged with Disorderly Conduct and that charge ended up being dismissed. In October of last year, Browning was arrested for Criminal Trespassing on Land and that charge was dismissed in November. In April of 2023, Browning was charged with Domestic Battery and subsequently given probation, sentenced to public/community service, ordered into Anger Management, and given a 6 month stayed jail sentence. That ended up being revoked and Browning spent about 5 months in jail after the October incident.
