As it turns out, you can overstay your welcome at a police station.

A jury found Aaron T. Moyers, 41, of Mars guilty Tuesday of defiantly trespassing at Butler City's police station on May 2. And Judge Timothy McCune, who oversaw the trial, ruled that Moyers was guilty of public drunkenness.

Stabbed, drugged and wearing nothing but a blood stained hospital gown, Moyers turned up at Butler City's police station saying that he wanted to report his car stolen. But Sgt. Dave Villotti — who had encountered Moyers earlier in the day at Butler Memorial Hospital — told him that his car wasn't stolen, it was in his wife's possession. He then told Moyers to leave and turned around to leave Moyers at the entrance of the police station.

“Finally, I said you need to leave, go back to your apartment,” Villotti said. “And I turned around to leave, and before the door closed, he pressed the emergency button we have when no one is at the front door. He started yelling about his car being stolen and I told him he was under arrest. He immediately dropped to the ground, dead weight. We needed three officers to arrest him, and up close I noticed his pupils were dilated and determined he was under the influence of opiates.”

Moyers testified during his trial that he had taken opiates. After his wife allegedly stabbed him on the morning of his arrest, he was taken by an ambulance to Butler Memorial Hospital. En route, he was given a shot of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opiate that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Once at the hospital, Moyers said he was given another shot of the opiate. Against medical advice, Moyers left the hospital, wearing nothing but boxer shorts and a hospital-issued paper gown. Outside of the hospital, Moyers considered his options.

“Everybody was terrified of me,” he said. “I had been attempting to bum cigarettes. People were scared of me.”

Moyers said that he spotted Villotti near the hospital.

“I asked him, 'Would you please take me from here to my apartment?' after being stabbed,” he said.

Villotti testified that Moyers never asked him for help.

“I was denied a ride multiple times,” Moyers said, adding that he walked to his apartment in downtown Butler near Dunkin' Donuts.

But Moyers testified that he couldn't get in, leading him to make his way to the police station.

“I didn't know where else to go,” Moyers said.

But Assistant District Attorney Laura Pitchford, who prosecuted the case, argued that Moyers' problems were of no concern to police, since it was a matter between a married couple.

“Sympathy is not a defense and that's all they argued,” Pitchford said.

Moyers will be sentenced on April 18.
