Prowler Arrested in Bedford

A White Plains man was arrested on May 7 after he jumped a fence and entered the garage of a gated property on Bedford Center Road in Bedford Hills, said police.

The residents had retired for the evening, they told police. The property and driveway was surrounded by a wood and metal fence but the garage doors were left open that night.

After responding to the residents' call about a prowler in their garage, police found Jorge Alvarez, 23, standing outside the garage. He told police he had jumped the fence and was looking for a place to get warm. Police said he showed signs of intoxication, and after being questioned, Alvarez admitted to drinking four beers and said he was trying to get home. 

Alvarez was charged with third-degree criminal trespassing, a misdemanor, and taken to Northern Westchester Hospital for evaluation. It is unclear why Alvarez, who has an address on Lexington Avenue in North White Plains, was in Bedford Hills at the time, said police.
