In October 2016, the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office in California received an emergency phone call. A concerned man claimed an intruder had broken into his house at night.

When the man, 18, began hearing strange noises inside his home, he rounded up his barking dogs and locked them all together in a room to get out of harm’s way and escape the prowler. That’s when he called 911.

The deputies arrived at the home and began searching inside the property for any signs of a break-in.

Since it was nighttime, the deputies who remained outside shined their flashlights around the exterior of the house.

That’s when they pointed their lights up onto the roof — and spotted the intruder.
