PUEBLO COUNTY, COLO. -- Pueblo County Sheriff's deputies arrested a man who tried breaking into a home late Sunday night but ended up being held at gunpoint by the homeowner.
Deputies said 22-year-old Jacob Pino tried breaking into a house in the 26000 block of South Road in eastern El Paso County around 11:49 p.m.
The homeowner grabbed a gun and held Pino at gunpoint in the kitchen after calling deputies. When they arrived, they took Pino's backpack, which had a handgun inside. Pino also had the homeowner's money clip on him.
Deputies said Pino was wearing several layers of clothing, plastic bags on his shoes and a mask over his face. He was arrested on first degree burglary, theft and possession of burglary tools charges.
"It is fortunate for Mr. Pino that the homeowner showed restraint, and the response of our deputies was timely,” Sheriff Kirk Taylor said in a statement.
