A subject described as a black man in a black track suit was allegedly breaking into homes. The reporting caller says that the man came into the gate and tried to open the door, jiggling the handle, but unable to get into the home because it was locked. Officers caught up to a man matching the description as he walked through people's back yards, who at one point claimed to be trying to find somewhere to urinate--although he became less cooperative as more officers arrived on scene. Rodriguez was arrested and charged with attempted breaking-and-entering, daytime breaking-and-entering, and three counts of trespassing.
