A Ring camera video out of Northern California has gone viral after capturing the terrifying a moment a man violently forced his way into a family\u2019s home where the mother and daughter were inside.<\/p>\n

The footage, shared on social media<\/a>, shows a man in a long trench coat kicking the front door of a home in Fairfield on April 7, punching the Ring camera, and demanding the homeowner open up. He repeatedly asked through the camera, \u201cWhere is your daughter?\u201d <\/p>\n

When he couldn\u2019t kick his way through the front door, police say he gained entry through a sliding glass door.<\/p>\n

The Fairfield Police Department on Saturday identified the suspect as Jason Nichols, 30, and said he was arrested after the woman\u2019s husband came home and confronted him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe homeowner\u2019s husband, who was away at the time, observed the suspect through a home security camera and immediately returned to the residence,\u201d Fairfield police officials wrote on Facebook.<\/a> \u201cAs the suspect entered the home, the homeowner returned, armed himself with a shovel, and confronted Nichols. A physical altercation ensued, during which both the homeowner and Nichols sustained head injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police did not say whether Nichols knew the girl living in the home.<\/p>\n

Arriving officers found Nichols outside the home and arrested him without any additional incident, police say. After receiving medical care at a nearby hospital, he was processed into the Solano County Jail.<\/p>\n

Nichols faces multiple felony charges including burglary, attempted forcible entry, and vandalism, according to jail records. Bail was set at $35,000 and he is scheduled to appear in court on April 13.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful that the family is safe and commend our officers for their swift response,\u201d the department said.<\/p>\n

On Monday, police announced Nichols faces an additional charge after a witness came forward to report a separate encounter involving their child on April 5, two days before the break-in.<\/p>\n

While Nichols remained in custody for the break-in, he was booked on an additional count of annoying or molesting a child under 18, police said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Ring camera video out of Northern California has gone viral after capturing the terrifying a moment a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":266169,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[20675,116362,7,9,116363,8,9342,18067,116361,84679,1073,285,116360,1555,236,2131,116364,8843],"class_list":["post-266168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-april","tag-arriving-officer","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-home-break-in","tag-california-news","tag-daughter","tag-entry","tag-fairfield-police-department","tag-front-door","tag-home","tag-homeowner","tag-jason-nichols","tag-man","tag-police","tag-suspect","tag-viral-ring-video","tag-way"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266168"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266168\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266169"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
