In this situation, it depends. Did you have the key before? Did you use it to snoop and then damage property? If so, you may not be charged with breaking and entering but you may be charged with malicious mischief (vandalism). http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=pen&group=00001-01000&file=594-625c
Did he say he was going to call the "cops"? By the way, the proper term is police. What you did was quite irresponsible and will get you into a lot of trouble if he calls the police.
