BUENA VISTA TOWNSHIP, MI — Fresh from a nearly week-long stint in a psychiatric facility, Buena Vista Township Trustee Eddie Billings said he plans to fight attempts to remove him as an elected representative as well as the no-trespass order banning him from properties owned by the municipality he serves. Billings said he also will legally address a warrant issued after township officials said he twice violated that no-trespass order, a misdemeanor offense. The situation began last week. That's when Buena Vista Township Superintendent Torrie Lee said the township Board of Trustees directed her to issue the no-trespass letter after Billings live-streamed an 'extremely concerning' video on Facebook.
