The Escambia County Sheriff's Office said a homeowner stopped a burglary attempt by holding the suspect at gunpoint until authorities arrived on Saturday (March 25) morning.
The ECSO got a call from a female victim around 2:00 a.m., from a home at 114 Phil Road in response to a home invasion.
The female victim informed the 9-1-1 dispatcher that the suspect was still inside the residence.
When ECSO deputies arrived, they were advised by dispatch that the man who owned the home had the suspect, 37-year-old Robert Ryan Delgadillo, at gunpoint inside the residence.
When deputies entered the home, the homeowner complied with deputies' instructions and Delgadillo was on the floor face-down. Deputies took him into custody without incident.
The male homeowner told deputies he and his wife along with their children were asleep inside the residence, when they were awakened by the sound of breaking glass.
They realized someone had made unlawful entrance into their residence, so the homeowner retrieved his handgun and went into the living room. As he cocked the handgun, Delgadillo, came up from behind the sofa asking the homeowner not to shoot.
The homeowner ordered Delgadillo to lie face-down on the floor, while his wife called authorities.
Delgadillo was not known by the homeowner or his family. During the course of an investigation of the scene, deputies found an open folding knife that did not belong to the homeowner. That lead law enforcement to believe Delgadillo was armed during the home invasion.
The ECSO said Delgadillo, who is from the Brewton, Alabama area, has been charged with first-degree burglary. He is currently in the Escambia County Detention Center with a $50,000 bond on the charges from the home invasion.
Delgadillo also had a probation violation stemming from older charges.
