Yakima Man Confronts Burglar



Jose Esparza says he first noticed a strange man trying to pull down the fence in his back yard, but, he says he disappeared after he confronted him. Esparza says he was walking down the hallway when the same man came out of his daughters bedroom holding a toy gun and threatening him.



Esparza says it was a frightening experience not only for him, but also his five year old daughter. He says was hoping the man would cooperate...and he did once Esparza pulled out a real hand gun.



28-year-old Roy Corbray was arrested for the break-in. Police say he was on drugs at the time. Corbray is expected in court tomorrow where he'll face burglary and malicious mischief charges.
