A 45-year-old Dublin man was in court on Friday facing charges related to breaking into a sorority house at UC Berkeley and watching women shower.

“This was a terrifying set of events. This happened Halloween night, early Nov. 1 morning,” says Officer Byron White with the Berkeley Police Department.

Officer White says Berkeley police got a call around 6 a.m. of a suspicious man inside a UC Berkeley sorority house – Alpha Chi Omega.

The man is identified as 45-year-old Courtney Alford. Police say Alford fled using a side door.

“One woman recounted how she woke up in the middle of the night, in her room, and other roommates, and there was this man inside there. A man that she doesn’t know,” says White.

Officer White suggests that because it was a busy Halloween night on Greek Row at Cal, it is possible that security in and out of the house was relaxed. He says surveillance video indicates a man who looks like Alford was in and out of the house for at least three hours.

“We know, at least, at one point, he went into the shower room. And watching the women as they shower. He had also taken some underwear from a room,” says White.

There are no reports of any physical injuries to the women at the house.

White says police used surveillance footage to ID Alford-and Flock technology to identify his car. Alford was arrested on Wednesday in Castro Valley.

“We later were able to do a search warrant on his home in Dublin, where we found over 900 rounds of ammunition. High-capacity magazines. And also, parts to an assault rifle,” says White.

Alford was in court on Friday, facing 11 counts, including burglary, peeking while loitering, invasion of privacy, and possession of a firearm by a felon. Court documents show Alford was also charged in another case of a felony lewd act on a minor last year. That case is ongoing. Alford has four other priors dating back to 1999.

In a statement to ABC7 News, a representative with UC Berkeley’s Student Affairs confirmed the incident, stating: “Our Student Affairs team is aware, in contact with the organization, and offering support resources.”
