Pasadena police found the 45-year-old in a closed store off East Foothill Boulevard around 1am Wednesday after security staff spotted him on surveillance footage.
Investigators found no forced entry and believe Keys entered during business hours, stayed after closing, and consumed snacks and drinks before being arrested on suspicion of burglary.
Police said footage showed him opening AirPods packaging, though it was unclear whether anything beyond refreshments was stolen. Fans were camping outside for a Pokemon card release, which officers called coincidental.
