A student illegally entered the home of a University police officer Thursday morning, according to a police report.
Robert Adam Kapfhamer, a senior from Charlotte, N.C., was arrested and charged with attempted burglary.
According the report:
A University police sergeant, who asked to not be named for security reasons, was awakened by the sound of someone removing his screen around 3 a.m. The sergeant said he yelled at the suspect to get away from his window and stay where he was.
When the sergeant stepped on his front porch, Kapfhamer came towards him in an "aggressive manner" but stopped when he saw the sergeant's duty belt in his hand.
Kapfhamer told police he was playing volleyball earlier that evening and left his cell phone out by the volleyball courts. He said he came back to look for his phone. After some beer and a bottle of wine, Kapfhamer said he might have blacked out and later said he might have stumbled into the window screen. He denied he was trying to break in to the residence.
The sergeant was not authorized to comment on the details of the case, he told The Red & Black Thursday afternoon in a telephone interview.
Attempts to reach Kapfhamer were unsuccessful.
