California man accused of breaking into UC Berkeley sorority and watching students shower, stealing underwear

A twisted man with a laundry list of prior convictions allegedly snuck into a sorority at the University of California, Berkeley, watched young women living in the house shower and even stole their underwear, according to cops.

Courtney Alford, 45, was arrested by officers with the Berkeley Police Department last Wednesday, four days after a gaggle of sorority sisters reported seeing a strange man snooping around UC Berkeley’s Alpha Chi Omega house.

The students told police that they caught the pervert picking through a coed’s room before fleeing the residence around 6 a.m., while others reported seeing a middle-aged man sneaking around as early as 3 a.m., the department wrote in a news release.

When officers parsed through the house’s security footage, they found multiple clips of a man believed to be Alford walking inside and outside of the building until around 6:35 a.m. At one point, he also appeared to leave and return in an entirely new ensemble with a ski mask covering his face.

The disturbing ordeal took place during the wee hours of the morning when many students were returning from a night out celebrating Halloween on the university’s Greek Row, which is lined with fraternity and sorority houses.

During the investigation, police discovered that the creep had made off with pairs of the students’ underwear and a few slices of pizza.

Officer Byron White, with the Berkeley Police Department, told the Los Angeles Times that one student woke up while Alford was prowling near her bed and another alleged seeing him spying on her while she was showering.

“He is someone that is known to the Berkeley Police Department well enough that an officer recognized him from one of the [surveillance photos],” White told the outlet.

Investigators cuffed Alford at his home in Castro Valley, Calif., without incident on Nov. 5. Cops recovered a cache of weapons inside the home, including parts of an assault rifle, high-capacity ammunition magazines and more than 900 rounds of ammunition.

The Peeping Tom was previously found guilty of burglary, grand theft, assault with a deadly weapon, making criminal threats, evading a peace officer, and a slew of other charges all within Alameda County alone.

Alford is facing a separate arraignment for another arrest, including a charge for a lewd act upon a child on Nov. 18 — just 30 minutes before facing a pretrial hearing for his alleged break-in at the UC Berkeley sorority house, according to his custody information.

The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office remanded him with 15 charges, including burglary, peeking, invading privacy, possession of a firearm by a felon, and unlawful entry on top of multiple criminal enhancements to account for his long list of priors.

Alford is currently being held at the Santa Rita Jail on a $275,000 bail.
