On May 11, at 7:44 pm, Antioch Police Officers responded to the 4900 block of Ridgeview Drive on the report of a burglary in progress.
The homeowner advised she was in the home holding her baby when she saw an intruder enter her home through an unlocked door. She fled out of the front of the house with her baby. Upon fleeing she had left her 4 yr old daughter behind in the house.
Officers arrived at 7:52 pm and conducted an interior check of the residence and located the 4-year-old at the top of the stairs. The child was directed to go outside to her mother as officers continued to check inside.
The 4-year-old daughter told her mother, who then alerted the officers that the intruder was hiding in the little girl’s bedroom closet.
Upon checking the little girls bedroom, they located Demaria Lopez, a 21 yrs old male transient, hiding in the closet.
Antioch Police officers took Lopez at gunpoint after he would not comply with commands. A brief struggle ensued and Lopez was taken into custody without further incident.
Lopez was transported and booked into MDF on charges of burglary and resisting arrest. There were no injuries to any involved.
Anyone with information regarding this case is encouraged to call Det. McManus with the Antioch Police Department at (925)779-6940.
