A disturbing doorbell camera video has led to the arrest of 30-year-old Jason Thomas Nichols in Fairfield, California.
The incident occurred on April 7, 2026, in the 1700 block of Burbank Court, where officers were dispatched after reports of an unknown man attempting to force entry into a residence.
Footage from the owner's home security system showed the suspect behaving erratically and claiming to be Harry Dresden, a fictional wizard detective from The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.
Nichols, who was later identified, is currently booked and in custody at Solano County jail, charged with first-degree burglary, vandalism, terrorizing, and assault with a deadly weapon causing great bodily injury.
According to the jail records, Nichols' bail is $35,000, and his next court appearance is scheduled for April 13.
