“A homeless man who has been studying computer programming and who designed a pollution-fighting app was arrested on Monday morning for sleeping on a park bench. According to Think Progress, the man known as ‘Journeyman’ Leo was arrested by New York City Police for sleeping in a park near Chelsea Piers and charged with trespassing. Leo came to the world’s attention in August, when 23-year-old programmer Patrick McConlogue announced that he offered the man $100 or a chance to learn coding and Leo chose coding. Leo now faces fines of up to $250 for sleeping on a bench he doesn’t normally sleep on.”
