The Findlay Municipal Court has dropped a case against a 71-year-old Findlay man accused of trespassing on Marathon Petroleum property. The court made the move Tuesday after Michael Phillips paid $109 in court costs.

Police arrested Phillips on May 12 for allegedly trespassing in a Marathon parking garage. Phillips claimed he was riding his bike on East Hardin Street. Police Captain Robert Ring says Marathon had concerns that Phillips was taking pictures of security cameras on the property.
