"In an alleged incident over Halloween weekend, a real-life nightmare crept into a sorority house near UC Berkeley - a man in a ski mask who authorities said slipped through bedrooms and lurked in showers in the dead of night. One woman was jolted awake by a dark figure near her bed, according to Berkeley Police Officer Byron White. Another was naked in the shower when the alleged peeping Tom preyed on her, police said."
"Officers recently arrested 45-year-old Courtney Alford of Dublin in connection with the sorority house break-in, according to the Berkeley Police Department. When they searched his home, they found assault rifle parts, high-capacity ammunition magazines and more than 900 rounds of ammunition. On Thursday, Alford was charged with burglary, peeking, invading privacy, possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of ammunition by a felon and trespassing, according to court records."
The break-in occurred between about 3:00 and 6:35 a.m. on Nov. 1 after Halloween celebrations. A man in a ski mask allegedly slipped through bedrooms, lurked in showers, woke one woman near her bed and watched another woman shower before leaving with stolen underwear and pizza.
