UPDATE @ 9:10 a.m.
Police have a suspected burglar in custody after residents caught him in a home and kept him at gunpoint until officers arrived.
The suspect was heard by a resident on Rosemont Boulevard stepping out of a second-story window onto the roof of his home.
The burglar was trying to get away with a tablet and a safe. The resident went outside and fired a shot into the ground toward the burglar after he jumped off the roof.
The burglar continued and jumped a fence. He ran and broke into another home on Rosemont Boulevard where three residents cornered him in the home. One held a shotgun at him until police arrived.
According to Sgt. Matt Beavers with the Dayton Police Department, the suspect faces burglary and aggravated burglary charges.
“We tried speaking to him,” Beavers said. “He was a little bit out of it. We don’t know if it’s drugs or alcohol. He wasn’t making a lot of sense. He wasn’t very coherent. We’re letting him calm down and see if his demeanor changes.”
Initial reports indicating the first burglary occurred on Coventry Road were not accurate.
