San Marino Housekeeper Attack Results in Prison Sentence

A 24-year-old man who broke into a San Marino home, tied up a housekeeper at knifepoint and demanded money was sentenced today to 10 years in state prison.

Yongheng Huang was sentenced immediately after pleading no contest to robbery, attempted robbery and kidnapping charges.

Huang forced his way into a Lombardy Road home last April 18, tied up the housekeeper, demanded money and then waited for the homeowner to return when the housekeeper said she didn’t have any cash, prosecutors sadi.

Huang left after the homeowner handed over $900 and was arrested by a San Marino police officer within blocks of the residence.
