Man refuses to stop looking at fish, arrested for trespassing at the aquarium

On October 9, at approximately 1:05 p.m., officers responded to 1600 block of Ocean Front Walk to the Pier Aquarium in response to a trespassing call. Upon arrival, officers spoke to the manager who told them that the subject, later identified as Ivan Estrada Palacios, a 31-year-old transient, was inside looking at fish when the aquarium was closed for a private group. According to the witness he asked Palacios to exit the premises multiple times, yet he did not respond and continued looking at the fish. He recognized Palacios from many prior incidents and causing disturbances at the aquarium. Three other staff members came to assist the manger with asking Palacios to exit the premises. Palacios finally walked out of the front door and fell asleep under a tree. Employees told officers that Palacios generally enters the business by jumping the side fenced off area. Palacios was arrested for trespassing. Bail was set at $5,000.
