Suspect cries after being caught by homeowner

[June 25, 2008]  NORWALK, Conn. (AP) -- Norwalk police said they nabbed a burglary suspect after he broke out in tears when the homeowner caught him. Police said Miguel Alvizures-Montaya, 35, of Norwalk, cried, handed over his cell phone and told the homeowner to call police.

The homeowner apprehended Alvizures-Montaya after chasing him on foot for a block. The 26-year-old homeowner was awakened Saturday morning when he saw a shadow outside his sliding glass door.

Alvizures-Montaya was charged with first-degree burglary and criminal attempt to commit burglary. He was released on bond Monday after being arraigned at Norwalk Superior Court.
