A 44-year-old Aspen man was ordered to stay away from his female neighbor Tuesday after he was arrested for allegedly entering her locked apartment twice in the past week, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Quitasol faces one count of felony first-degree criminal trespassing. And while he denied to police officers that he was the one who entered the woman\u2019s apartment, he admitted that his key also opened her door, according to an arrest warrant affidavit filed in Pitkin County District Court.<\/p>\n

The woman told police that her male roommate has been out of town and that about four days ago she was alone in the apartment when she heard someone open the locked door and come inside, the affidavit states. The woman said the person turned on all the lights, and she heard the person walk downstairs to where the bedrooms are located.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe person then turned all the lights off and left the apartment,\u201d the affidavit states. \u201cShe never saw the person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then at about 2 a.m. Tuesday, the woman heard the person enter the locked door again, come downstairs and turn the lights on, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe could see the light under her door and could hear the person breathing,\u201d the document states. \u201cThis person then left the apartment without turning off the lights.\u201d<\/p>\n

The woman then called police and went upstairs, when she heard her neighbor\u2019s door close, according to the affidavit. She then knocked on Quitasol\u2019s door and told him what happened.<\/p>\n

At that point, Quitasol \u201cmentioned that his key opens her door lock as well,\u201d the affidavit states.<\/p>\n

Quitasol later told police he has known his key opens the neighboring apartment for about 10 years, according to the document.<\/p>\n

Quitasol denied entering the woman\u2019s apartment and became angry when an officers suggested he might have done so. However, the officer noted in his report that after he handcuffed Quitasol, he \u201cnever contested to me that he was being falsely arrested,\u201d the affidavit states.<\/p>\n

Quitasol has no criminal history, prosecutor Luisa Berne said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Pitkin County Judge Erin Fernandez-Ely entered a protection order forbidding Quitasol from contacting his neighbor and ordered him to enter a sobriety monitoring contract. He was ordered released on a $3,000 personal recognizance bond.<\/p>\n
