Man Arrested After Texting Arlington Woman From Inside Her Home

ARLINGTON, MA – Arlington police charged a Bridgewater man with breaking and entering Friday after he allegedly entered a woman's home through the window and texted her that he was waiting for her. Police said around 9:40 p.m. on May 25 a woman reported 24-year-old Robert McGuane in her apartment. The woman was on the T when McGuane texted her from inside her apartment, according to police.

The woman did not answer, and called her mother, who told her to call the police. Upon arrival, officers heard a male voice yelling from inside the apartment. They found one of the windows open and saw McGuane walking from the bedroom to the living room, according to the report.

McGuane let police in and was taken into custody. Police did not find a key to the apartment that he said he had, and the woman told officers he was not on the lease, was not given a key and did not have permission to enter the apartment.

She said she was not afraid of McGuane and did not believe he was there to cause her arm.

McGuane was charged with breaking and entering nighttime for a felony.
