On Oct. 13, 2016, Belizaire was arrested on University Drive on the west side of FAU Stadium on charges of trespassing on property other than structure or conveyance
At the time, he was caught asking students to sell his books to the Palm Beach State College campus bookstore, FAU police said.
His most recent arrest was on Jan 25, 2017, on charges of trespassing on property other than structure or conveyance and grand theft of $907.20 worth of textbooks from the bookstore on the Boca Raton campus.
