Three people, including one juvenile, were arrested after breaking into the home of a deputy sheriff while he was home for lunch on Monday, according to the Napa County Sheriff’s Office.

While the sergeant was making himself a sandwich in the kitchen of his residence on the 2100 block of Monticello Road, “out of the corner of his eye” he noticed someone coming to the back door, in black clothing and wearing a mask, said Sheriff’s Capt. Keith Behlmer.

Behlmer said that the masked individual was going to swing a crowbar at the door but noticed that it was open. He turned to two colleagues also in masks and went into the residence.

“Freeze! Police!” yelled the sergeant, pointing his firearm at them before they ran off, Behlmer said. He chased the three suspects and detained one of them, Jesse Reyes, 19.

The other suspects, Luis Kevin Flores, 19, and a juvenile, were located in the area by deputies who arrived on the scene, Behlmer said.

All three were arrested on suspicion of burglary, conspiracy to commit a crime and resisting arrest. Reyes and Flores were booked at the Napa County jail and the juvenile was taken to Napa County Juvenile Hall.
