AKRON, Ohio -- An Akron husband and wife held a burglary suspect at gunpoint until officers arrived to arrest him, police said.

DeJuan McCraney, 38, of Akron, is charged with aggravated burglary and having weapons while under disability in the Sunday incident at a house on Cordova Avenue.

The 61-year-old husband and 43-year-old wife had been asleep in their bedroom when they heard a noise. The couple believed a family member had arrived home and ignored it until McCraney entered their bedroom, police said.

The husband and wife grabbed guns they kept in the house and forced McCraney to stay put as they called 911.

Officers searched the house and found a loaded 9 mm handgun inside a jacket that had been left on the couch. Investigators said McCraney brought the jacket with him.

McCraney's criminal history includes a 2001 conviction for attempted murder. A Summit County judge sentenced him to nine years in prison, court records show.

No other details from that case were immediately available.
