Weatherford (Texas) Democrat – “Beer-drinking college students arrested for 'exploring' FAA tower” – December 30^th, 2014:

Four young men who police say broke into a building in Snyder County, Pennsylvania early Sunday morning to share a few beers set off alarms all the way in Georgia. 

That's because the building happened to be a Federal Aviation Administration air traffic navigation tower. 

The unlawful entry through what the four college students, one of whom is a West Point cadet, said was an unlocked door triggered an intruder alarm that shut down a crucial aviation aid that allows pilots to follow an assigned flight path.

Though authorities believe the four weren’t trying to disrupt air traffic, an alert of the disruption was received at the FAA's regional office in Atlanta, which notified Pennsylvania state police. 

When troopers arrived, they found the four men, all of them younger than 21, walking away from the tower carrying open containers of beer. So along with felony causing a catastrophe, burglary, criminal mischief, criminal trespassing, the foursome also faces underage drinking charges. 

Though FAA spokesman Jim Peters confirmed that “The entrants did not damage the building or equipment and did not pose a safety risk to any aircraft," they also may face federal charges. 

The Daily Journal (Park Hills, Missouri) Online - "Burglars question homeowner when caught in act" - December 28th, 2014:

 

Crystal City Police caught a brazen burglar and his sidekick on Dec. 16 after the would-be robber challenged the homeowner as to who really owned the home.

It took place in the 2400 block of Hwy. 61-67 just after noon when the homeowner entered the home and found an apparent burglary in progress.

According to authorities, when the owner entered the residence they were confronted by a male subject who actually asked the homeowner what he was doing in the house. The homeowner told him he was the owner and the subject said they would see about that.

The homeowner ran out and called police and when officers responded they saw two men fleeing on foot. They captured both men after a short foot chase.

The suspects, a 46-year Cedar Hill man and a 53-year-old Arnold man, were arrested on suspicion of first-degree burglary, a Class B felony, and misdemeanor charges of trespassing. They were released pending application of warrants.

Authorities reported that there were no injuries and nothing appeared to have been taken. The men entered the house through an unlocked rear door.
