Waco, TX – A 30-year-old man was arrested on December 26 for breaking into a home and allegedly lying in bed with a woman he did not know, according to a recent arrest warrant.
Jesus Lopez Loredo is facing charges of burglary of a habitation with the intent to commit a sexual offense. Waco police say the suspect entered the residence in the 1500 block of 13th Street by removing a portable air conditioning unit from a window, after initially attempting to enter through the front door.
The victim, who was asleep at the time, was unaware of the intruder’s presence in her home. Police said Lopez made his way into a bedroom where the victim’s daughter was also sleeping. After entering, Lopez allegedly lay down in bed next to the woman, who remained asleep.
Lopez was arrested shortly after the incident and charged with the burglary. His bond was set at $75,000. However, he is also being held under an immigration detainer, meaning that if he posts bond, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will have 48 hours to take him into custody.
The incident has raised concerns about home security and the safety of residents in the area. Local authorities are continuing their investigation into the matter.
