Villager with history of erratic behavior taken into custody on trespassing charge

A Village of Del Mar man who remains banned from all Villages recreation centers and Town of Lady Lake properties has been jailed on a trespassing charge.

Richard Neil Hendricks, 79, who lives at 1209 Maria Court, was taken into custody Friday morning by Lady Lake police. He was booked at the Lake County Jail.

On Dec. 10, Hendricks was informed by letter by the Villages Recreation Department that he was banned from all facilities. He was arrested at a Chula Vista Recreation Center on Friday.

In 2010, the Lady Lake Commission took steps to have Hendricks classified as a “vexatious litigant” because he was filing so many lawsuits against the town. By that time he had already been barred from all town facilities after an incident involving a knife at Lady Lake Public Library.

He has a serious of arrests for trespassing, failure to appear in court, and violation of probation.

Hendricks had recently sought to have Lady Lake end its ban on his presence at town facilities. Commissioners unanimously agreed to keep the ban in place.
