product in the preparation of the United States or of any of the states for defense or for
war, or the manufacture, transportation, distribution or storage of gas, oil, coal,
electricity or water or of any public utility, may stop any person found on such premises
to which entry without permission is forbidden and where such premises are clearly
posted with signs prohibiting entry, and may detain such person for the purpose of
demanding the name, address and the individual's business in such place. If such
peace officer or employee has reason to believe from the answers or conduct of the

individual without a warrant on the charge of committing the crime of criminal trespass.
In the event such peace officer or employee shall arrest such person found in the
