One of the callers said an unknown male subject was banging on the front door of their home. The caller went on to say the suspect had walked to a neighbor’s house and was trying to make entry into the garage. 

 

As the deputies were circulating in the area attempting to locate the suspect, another 911 call was received saying the male suspect had broken into another home. The caller was inside the home as the suspect entered, and they were now locked in the home’s bedroom to seek safety.
