City police arrested a homeless woman in the Locust House Apartmentson Wednesday night after she refused to leave the lobby.
Eileen Kleep-Egge, 41, was asked to leave the lobby about 9:20 p.m., but police said she refused and instead tried to use a phone in the lobby to call a tenant in the apartment building to be invited in.
Police arrived and told her again to leave the premises. She again refused and then held out her arms, yelling "Lock me up, lock me up," according to the police report.
The woman, who police said was homeless, was charged with one count of trespassing, one count of disorderly behavior and failure to obey a policeman's order, and one count of being disorderly on private property. If convicted on all the charges, she faces a sentence of 120 days in jail and fines up to $1,500. She was incarcerated because she could not meet the $100 bail, police said.
