A man broke into an empty dorm room in a Hedrick Summit suite early Saturday morning, university police said.
One of the residents of the suite, a housing structure in which five rooms share one bathroom and a common area, was exiting the bathroom when she heard rustling coming from a room that she knew was supposed to be vacant for the weekend, said UCPD sergeant Miguel Banuelos.
She called out and opened the door around 12:40 a.m. to find the alleged suspect hiding under the bed, Banuelos said. She screamed, and another resident came and saw the man also.
The suspect is described as a black man, about 6 feet tall, 160 pounds and around 25 years old with short black hair. He was wearing a brown corduroy jacket and a white T-shirt, Banuelos said.
