While running away, he took whatever was inside the package and left the rest in a neighbor\u2019s yard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Deputies said that after they responded to the incident, they found the package and discovered an AT&amp;T invoice inside, bearing the name \u201cJeffrey Perez,\u201d along with phone numbers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">The complaint said that 10 days later, the victim reported that Perez Geronimo had returned and was talking to a UPS driver at the end of the victim\u2019s driveway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Perez Geronimo was no longer at the house, though, by the time deputies arrived there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">The victim did manage to take a picture of Perez Geronimo, the complaint said. Investigators were able to use that picture and run it through facial recognition software, leading to an arrest Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">During an interview with investigators, Perez Geronimo was shown video surveillance footage from a neighbor\u2019s house apparently depicting the August 12 incident. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">\u201cJeffrey stated, \u2018Yeah I remember that I was grabbing my package not even gonna lie here, sir,\u2019\u201d the complaint stated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">\u201cI can tell you what happened there,\u201d Perez Geronimo allegedly told investigators. The interview, however, ended shortly thereafter when Perez Geronimo invoked his Miranda Rights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">In addition to the home invasion robbery charge, Perez Geronimo is facing charges of unauthorized possession of an identification card, possession of more than 20 grams of cannabis, and violation of probation.<\/p>\n<p>Breaking News Alerts<img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\"  style=\"object-fit:cover;width:234px;height:50px\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1789131493_618_wkmg_breaking.png\" width=\"234\" height=\"50\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf eUxjKG\">More Stories Like This In Our Email Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. \u2013 A dispute over the delivery of a FedEx package escalated into a home invasion,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":396862,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[265,1335,139,141,140],"class_list":["post-396861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-crime","tag-orange-county","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/396861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=396861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/396861\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/396862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=396861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=396861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=396861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
