Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana

Alright three friends and I were in Clarksville Indiana and were driving down a road and seen a bunch of cars beside the road, so we pulled off and got out to take a look. There were no "no trespassing" signs or anything along those lines no fence just a path right to them, so we go in and look around for a while and come back out, note we did no property damage stole nothing...ect. We get in our cars and drive up the road about 300 yards and 5 cop cars are waiting, they say that they seen us exiting the junkyard and that we are under arrest for trespassing. they leave our cars in the road unlocked windows down and take us to jail. We are released hours later and given a court date. When we arrive at court we are told that we are being charged with criminal trespassing and that the owner has told us not to be on the property. This is the first time we have even been in Indiana. Im not sure how we can be found guilty any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hire local counsel since you do not want a conviction.
