COEUR D’ALENE — A man is being held on $100,000 bail after police said he had drugs on his person while trespassing.

Joseph J. Garlinghouse, 28, of Coeur d’Alene, is charged with possession of a controlled substance, a felony, as well as possession of drug paraphernalia, being under the influence in a public place and trespassing, all misdemeanors.

Police responded around 2 a.m. Thursday to a report of a suspicious person in a residential neighborhood in Coeur d’Alene.

Officers contacted Garlinghouse, who they said had been trespassed from a nearby residence two days prior and spotted near the residence’s back door the night before.

The reporting party placed Garlinghouse under citizen’s arrest for trespassing, according to court documents.

A search of Garlinghouse’s person allegedly yielded a glass pipe containing a white substance that police said was meth, as well as other paraphernalia.

Garlinghouse pleaded not guilty to the charges on Friday.

Judge James Combo ordered that Garlinghouse be held on $100,000 bail.
