Police arrested a man Tuesday they suspect is responsible for breaking into The Statesider Sunday and sexually assaulting several women before stealing money from a resident, according to a police report.
Stephen Burton, 18, is being tentatively charged with fourth degree sexual assault because he climbed into bed with an unknowing girl and inappropriately touched another in an elevator, according to the report. Police are also charging him with assault, burglary and disorderly conduct.
Burton gained access into The Statesider at approximately 2:15 a.m. Sunday by telling the security clerk he was visiting a friend. Police used surveillance footage from The Statesider to identify him.
