A man suspected of burglarizing a Trump campaign office in Virginia was arrested in California over the weekend, authorities said.
Security video captured images of the suspect in August. The Loudoun County, Virginia, Sheriff’s Office said Thursday that the man in the video — Toby Shane Kessler, 39 — was detained in California on Saturday for squatting in an unoccupied campus dorm at the University of California, San Francisco. He will face burglary charges in Virginia.
The Trump campaign’s office in Ashburn was broken into on Aug. 11. The facility also houses the headquarters for the Virginia 10th District Republican Committee.
Kessler forced "entry through the back door of the Ashburn office" and spent "a brief period inside before leaving," the sheriff's office said.
Kessler is in a county jail in San Francisco, according to the city's sheriff's office website. He faces 19 charges, including trespassing, vandalism and theft, which could relate to multiple cases.
