“Open to the public” defined. “Open to the public” means premises which by their physical nature, function, custom, usage, notice or lack thereof, or other circumstances at the time would cause a reasonable person to believe no permission to enter or remain is required. People v. Bozeman, 624 P.2d 916 (Colo. App. 1980).
Theater manager’s office in a completely enclosed space within theater not “open to public” for purposes of subsection (3) of this section. Defendant’s use of a pretense to gain entrance to manager’s office indicates that he was aware that the office was not open to public and was therefore “unlawfully entering” premises. People v. Ridenour, 878 P.2d 23 (Colo. App. 1994).
