Police on Sunday confirmed detectives had charged a 43-year-old man with trespassing at a property on Murray River Rd in Thologolong on April 16.
"The Yea man was charged on summons with one count of trespass," Victoria Police said in a statement.
He will appear at Wodonga Magistrates Court on October 13.
The man took to his YouTube account on Sunday morning, where he said he had handed himself in to the police.
"I am officially connected to the Dezi Freeman case," he told his followers in a video.
"I am now officially charged; it is in the magistrate's court and I will go there at the end of the year."
He said he expected to receive a fine for the alleged offence.
"If they wanted to charge me with more they could of, but they didn't, so yeah, I would imagine I would only get a fine for that," the man said.
Freeman, 56, triggered one of Australia's largest manhunts after he killed Senior Constable Vadim de Waart-Hottart and Detective Leading Senior Constable Neal Thompson at his home at Porepunkah, in Victoria's High Country, in August 2025.
He evaded capture until he was traced to a Thologolong property, near Walwa, on the Victoria-NSW border, where he was shot dead by specialist police in March.
Video posted by the YouTuber of Freeman's makeshift campsite showed items strewn everywhere, including tipped camping chairs, cooking utensils on tables, and an overturned tinny with multiple bullet holes.
Two people have been interviewed about helping the fugitive, including a 64-year-old Lucyvale resident who was arrested in mid-June and questioned before being released pending further investigations.
A Victorian coroner is investigating the deaths of the two police officers and Freeman, with separate inquests to be held.Â
