if it was 2009 he's probably not under probation anymore.

you can change the locks today and he can't do anything legally since there is no contract, even if there was the police do not get involved in landlord/tenant disputes, they tell tenant they must sue to gather belongings.

If you really want him out this is what you do:
a) buy new locks for whatever exterior doors he has keys to
b) next time he's about to leave tell him you're changing the locks and you WILL call the police if he comes home
c) change locks while he is gone
d) when he returns call police immediately. Do not argue or say a word, call 911 first and tell them your 19 yr old son is attempting to enter house and you kicked him out. If you want them there quickly tell 911 he is probably armed.

Warning: if you tell the police he might be armed they might shoot him if he does not cooperate. A few years ago a mother did this exact thing and the police killed her son when son did not listen to police and the mother was mad at police because she just wanted him out of her house.

e) police will make him leave, he will have to sue to gather belongings or you can put them outside and call him to pick them up
