Unfortunately, if rent is not paid at storage units, it is common for them to auction your stuff off and it is legal. Their rights depend on the terms of the lease agreement which typically include language concerning the sale of property after default without notice.

The arrest threat is unlikely as the District Attorney won't waste time unless more than the breaking of a lock was alleged.
