Uhm, yeah, Hamilton Place is only one block long. Go figure that it's the 400 block, being as it's located S. of William St. & N. of E. Jefferson. Amusing. Door jigglers beware, we got your number.That block is almost entirely student rentals, prime targets for burglars historically, being it's located near downtown & near a habitation of unsavory characters. I say this because I know the area from experience over the years. A lot of thieves target Both Hamilton Place & the adjoining block of E. Jefferson. AAPD is always in the area, being it's right on the edge of downtown, by the library.

Glad the man was arrested on the spot! Good Job Ann Arbor Police! Anyone jiggling my door knob at 1:30 a.m. (or anytime of the day or night) might want to fear for his /her own life.
