Transient Accused In T-Mobile Burglary, Looting: Rohnert Park DPS

ROHNERT PARK, CA — A burglar at a Rohnert Park T-Mobile store was stopped in his tracks early Friday, according to the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety. A burglary alarm was triggered at 5:15 a.m. at the business located at 591 Rohnert Park Expressway, and a remote surveillance team for T-Mobile could see a masked man inside the store, police said.

Officers responded and also reported seeing a masked man, and said he was trying to leave the store with a shopping cart full of T-Mobile merchandise. The store's metal security gate was down, though, preventing the suspect from leaving with his cart through the front of the store, police said.

Officers had to break a window to get inside the business, where they arrested the masked man without incident, Rohnert Park DPS said.

Police identified the burglary suspect as 35-year-old Marley Miller, a transient in the Rohnert Park area.

An investigation revealed Miller got into the T-Mobile store by climbing onto the roof, then dropping down into the business through a roof hatch, police said.

"The merchandise in the cart consisted of iPhones, laptops, tablets and miscellaneous electronic accessories," Rohnert Park DPS said. "The value of these items is estimated to be several thousand dollars."

Miller was booked into the Sonoma County Main Adult Detention Facility on suspicion of burglary, looting, and a violation of his Post Release Community Supervision, police said.

Jail records show Miller remained in custody Friday morning in lieu of $10,000 bail.
