Terrance Hoover faces a burglary charge for the incident on January 17. 

Officials said the $4 million penthouse is loaded with security measures, however, Hoover was able to get into the 13th floor condominium.  The residence can only be accessed through an emergency stairwell or an elevator that requires a key card, court records show. 

On that day, Hoover was able to get past the “fully gated and guarded entrance,” and then ran through the parking garage to the emergency stairwell, according to an arrest affidavit. The stairwell remains locked at all times unless someone doesn’t fully close the door and a security camera recorded Hoover walking up the stairs and exit the stairwell into the penthouse just before 10 p.m., the report stated.

Swift found Hoover in the penthouse when he returned home at about 10 p.m. and a struggle ensued before Hoover fled the scene. 

Hoover later called the police “to report his encounter with a man living at the Vinoy,” according to the report.

Hoover was later arrested on February 12 by Marion County deputies. 

St. Pete police have not said yet if Hoover targeted the residence or stumbled upon it, however, Hoover's mother claims he was looking for his estranged wife at churches near the water and got lost. 

Hoover's mother Donna Denapoli told Spectrum News she was on the phone with her son during the time of the incident.

"... he had no intent to do anything. He wasn’t burglarizing him. He wasn’t stealing from him. He was lost and ended up there. And yeah he probably would get a trespassing warning or ticket or whatever they do, but he had no intent to rob the guy. He didn’t know who he was," Denapoli said.

According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement records, Hoover's arrest history goes back years, including domestic violence by strangulation, aggravated battery, burglary, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, and false imprisonment. 

He remains in jail on a $50,000 bond.
