A Redwood City man who allegedly broke into the Maple Street Correctional Center in Redwood City Aug. 13 and was arrested by a correctional officer pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanors in court Wednesday, the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office said.
Prosecutors said that Moises Dona Robles, 35, claimed to be getting away from a man with a gun and did not know he entered into a county jail but admitted to being under the influence of meth and alcohol. A correctional officer saw Robles sitting in the lobby and thought he was an inmate before recognizing him as a trespasser in street clothes and stopping him.
Video surveillance showed he climbed an exterior and interior fence, climbed up to a second-floor patio and went into the jail through the patio door, prosecutors said. His next court appearance is Nov. 30.
