A chilling doorbell footage from Fairfield, California, has shocked suburban homeowners after an intruder was seen demanding to be let inside a house while a woman and a child were inside.
The incident took place in the 1700 block of Burbank Court, where a 30-year-old man, identified as Jason Nichols, was seen pacing outside a house and grilling the homeowner through a Ring camera.
Nichols initially asked if he could open the door and if everything was okay, but soon turned aggressive after the homeowner asked him to leave.
He began pounding on the door, ripping off the doorbell, and hurling threats. The homeowner's husband, who was away at the time, observed the suspect through a home security camera and immediately returned to the residence.
Nichols slipped into the home through a sliding glass door, but was confronted by the man carrying a shovel. A standoff ensued, leaving both men with head injuries after exchanging blows.
Police soon arrived and found Nichols outside, who was rushed to a nearby hospital and then booked into jail on multiple felony charges tied to the break-in attempt.
The woman and the child were not physically harmed, and Nichols' bail was set at $35,000. He is due in court on Tuesday afternoon.
