Paso Robles, CA- On Thursday, January 19 at approximately 11:20am, PRPD Officers were
dispatched to the area of Apion Court, where a resident called 911 to report a male suspect
had entered her home through an open garage door. The suspect was reportedly armed
with a pry bar and a large knife. The female resident was at home at the time and
confronted the suspect as he came out of one of the interior bedrooms. The suspect
quickly left the home and attempted to force his way into a neighbor’s home across the
street, but was unsuccessful.

vehicle, and he was taken into custody without incident. The suspect, 34-year-old

was later booked into San Luis Obispo County Jail for felony charges of: burglary,
attempted burglary, possession of drugs for sale, and other drug related charges.
