Man arrested on suspicion of SDSU burglaries
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — A 36-year-old man suspected of burglaries at San Diego State University was arrested Friday.
Troy Speaks, who is not a student or affiliated with SDSU, was identified as the suspect, according to the San Diego State University Police Department (UPD). He was arrested on suspicion of commercial burglary and is known to UPD as a repeat offender.
'Speaks was previously arrested by UPD for burglary approximately six months ago and had just been released from custody two days prior to these reported burglaries,' SDSU said in the news release.
On Thursday at around 1 p.m., UPD received reports of two separate classroom burglaries after faculty members reported stolen laptop computers from classrooms in the Professional Studies and Fine Arts building and the Storm Hall building.

In one of the incidents, a faculty member saw a suspected burglar leaving the area carrying two laptop computers.
Then around 2 a.m., a UPD officer found the suspect on SDSU campus property attempting to gain access to a secured building during hours when the campus was closed to the general public, per UPD.
Speaks was booked into San Diego County Jail.
Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact the SDSU Police Department at 619-594-1991 and reference case numbers 25-775 and 25-776.

‘It Felt Like Kidnapping,' Khalil Says in First Interview Since Release
Mahmoud Khalil sat in a Manhattan apartment dotted with posters and signs calling for his freedom and described the moment 105 days before when plainclothes immigration agents had handcuffed him in the building lobby. 'All the 'Know Your Rights' information and fliers I read and familiarized myself with were useless,' Mr. Khalil said. 'There are no rights in such situations.' 'It felt like kidnapping,' he said. Mr. Khalil, a 30-year-old Columbia University graduate and permanent resident, was the first student protester targeted and detained by the Trump administration. On Friday, after having spent more than three months in detention in Jena, La., he was released on bail. He traveled most of the night to return to New York City, and on Saturday evening turned off a television newscast on America's attack on Iran to speak publicly for the first time about his arrest, his detention and his plans now that he is free. He said that if President Trump's goal had been to suppress pro-Palestinian speech, the president had 'absolutely failed.' When he was in prison, he had received hundreds of letters from people whose interest in the Palestinian movement had been catalyzed by his case, he said. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
