Man Allegedly Caught Breaking into Rosemont Business

A silent alarm put a quick stop to an alleged burglary attempt in Rosemont over the weekend.

Charles Homer Perez, 44, was arrested at 2:30 a.m. on New Year's Eve after authorities found him hiding in the bushes outside a painting business on Harlin Drive, according to a Sacramento County Sheriff's Department crime log. The business' silent alarm had been tripped when a window was forced open, the crime log states.

Perez was found with "tools which are consistently used for burglary purposes," the crime log states.

Sheriff's department spokesman Dep. Jason Ramos said nothing was taken from the business, and the opened window was the only damage.

Perez is currently being held on a felony and a misdemeanor charge, and his bail is set at $35,000. He's due in court Wednesday afternoon.
