Police arrested a Mountain View resident earlier this week after he allegedly broke into an apartment through a window in the early hours of the morning, and was later chased off by a next-door neighbor

The suspect, identified by police as 24-year-old Aaron Campbell, allegedly climbed into the apartment on the 200 block of Fairchild Drive around 4:30 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 3, breaking a window pane on his way in. He was later spotted by someone staying at an apartment next door, who reportedly yelled at Campbell and chased him out, according to police spokeswoman Katie Nelson.

Officers set up a perimeter and found Campbell a short distance away on Tyrella Avenue. Campbell was later arrested and taken to Santa Clara County jail on burglary charges.

Nelson said Campbell did not give a reason for why he broke into the apartment, but it’s unlikely that it was an accident.

  1. If the Mountain View voice is going to practice censorship then it should at least give the reason and not just List it as a, “violation of terms of use.”

  2. You are a guest here on someone’s property(the server owned and maintained by the voice). They are allowing you here openly but they get to make all the rules, regardless of how arbitrary some may find them, and no, they owe nobody any explanation.

    If you open your house to the public for a party, you still get to ask anyone you want to leave at any time. We used to kick out loud mouths from our college parties all the time when they became too obnoxious. Not saying you were a loud mouth, but used it as a comparative example.

  3. giving a reason would only encourage more complaining, with people arguing that they didn’t actually cross the line but were still half an inch away from it.
