Yes, so, we have someone in our neighborhood who is constantly walking through our yard. We've asked him nicely to not do it but, he continues to do so. We have contacted our local police department but they say since he has a mental disability, they can not do anything about it. Is this true?

- Mental disability does not exempt anyone from trespassing laws.
