A man was charged with burglary after Chief Jeff Besong said he forced his way into The Globe’s office and WPPJ’s radio station inside Conestoga Hall on Nov. 1 around 6:30 a.m.

Besong said campus security cameras showed the man moving frantically down Wood Street and attempting to open university building doors. When the man got to the door of WPPJ’s studio and The Globe’s office, Besong said he was able to force it open and enter the building.

Police said security scanner records showed the door being locked, and that a faulty magnet lock likely enabled the man’s entry into the joint studio-office. They added that the door has since been fixed.

After gaining entry, the man then went into Conestoga’s basement, where Besong said he panicked and then promptly left the building. Besong added that nothing was stolen or otherwise damaged inside the studio or office.

Besong said the man is a known heroin user and was likely inebriated during the incident.

“Based on our experience — the officer’s experience when watching that video — you could tell he was doing something,” Besong said. “And he was panicking; he [didn’t] know where he was.”

Point Park police were able to identify the man using a security camera in the basement stairwell, which captured his face. University police then used a City facial recognition database to identify him.

The man was apprehended and arrested on Tuesday, Nov. 4.

Besong said that, despite nothing inside the studio or office being damaged or stolen, the university will still be moving forward with the burglary charge.

“Even though he didn’t commit a crime inside,” Besong said, “to our knowledge —we checked everything — we’re still charging him.”
