Chandrasekaran said that as soon as he realized that he was not actually in The Crimson 's offices he waited for police to arrive.
The building's burglar alarm had begun to blare, he said.
"That's why I was caught," he said, adding, "I have no desire to do anything to the English Language Center."
Cambridge Police Department (CPD) spokesperson Frank D. Pasquarello confirmed that Cambridge Police arrested Chandrasekaran.
According to workers in the English Language Center, Chandrasekaran cut through a window screen with a pair of wire cutters and proceeded to re-arrange furniture once inside the building.
Alan E. Wirzbicki '01, the president of The Crimson, declined to comment.
He would not say whether The Crimson intends to ask prosecutors to pursue the charges.
