Armstrong was the subject of several Help Identify posts created by LSUPD, in which he was seen entering multiple locations as well as leaving in a 2002 dark green Chevrolet Avalanche.
After obtaining a search warrant, LSUPD and the Baton Rouge Police Department performed a search of the apartment Armstrong was suspected of staying in on 8252 Governor Drive, Lalonde said.
Armstrong was arrested and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for 15 counts of simple burglary, 11 counts of credit theft, one attempt of credit theft and one count of computer tampering.
Man unaffiliated with University charged for issuing worthless checks
On Nov. 26, 2012, LSUPD officers were notified by employees of the Campus Federal Credit Union, who claimed there was an overdraft of $345.75 on an account belonging to Yosef Issachar, 36, of 1567 Marcia Drive, Lalonde said.
Issachar failed to contact the Campus Federal Credit union after it attempted to recollect the funds on several occasions. LSUPD officers issued an arrest warrant after Issachar failed to contact LSUPD investigators, Lalonde said.

Issachar was issued the additional charge of issuing worthless checks on top of his existing charges.
Man unaffiliated with University charged for criminal trespassing
On Jan. 31 at 5:23 p.m., LSUPD officers were contacted by an employee of the LSU Reproductive Biology Center who said a suspect was trespassing on the grounds.
LSUPD identified the suspect as Brighton Heard, 30, of 10438 Springtree Drive, who worked for a private company located behind the Reproductive Biology Center, Lalonde said.
The Reproductive Biology Center told LSUPD the AgCenter gave routine access to workers of the private company on the condition that they only pass through during normal business hours and barred hunting for safety reasons, Lalonde said.
The Reproductive Biology Center is located in St. Gabriel and contains various forms of livestock on the grounds.
Heard admitted to being on the property, claiming he had access to the land near the property during weekends for hunting purposes, Lalonde said.
Heard was issued a misdemeanor summons for criminal trespass.
