A Kyle man was arrested Oct. 3 after he allegedly brandished a knife and threatened a witness who caught him breaking into a home in the Plum Creek subdivision.
Julian Facundo, 20, of Kyle, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second degree felony, and burglary of a building, which is a state jail felony.
According to a Kyle Police arrest affidavit, officers were dispatched to the 400 block of Hogan in Plum Creek for a burglary of a residence.
Once on scene, officers met with a married couple who alleged they saw a person, later identified as Facundo, trying to enter their neighbor’s gate.
The woman said she asked Facundo if he needed help, but he ignored her and walked to the end of the driveway.
The woman, who yelled she was calling authorities, said Facundo allegedly exited the front of the home carrying a skateboard and then picked up a white bag from the grass and began walking down the alley, trying to get through fences.
Her husband got out of his vehicle and asked what Facundo was doing, at which point Facundo allegedly walked to another neighbor’s yard where a white bag was in the grass.
The woman said Facundo walked through the yard and went to the front of the residence, before returning to the back door. Facundo allegedly opened the garage door to the home where he “seemed to be hiding.”
The woman, who yelled she was calling authorities, said Facundo allegedly exited the front of the home carrying a skateboard and then picked up a white bag from the grass and began walking down the alley, trying to get through fences.
The woman’s husband followed Facundo down the alley, where he was alleged to have thrown the white bag and skateboard over two different fences.
While in the alley, Facundo allegedly brandished a knife at her husband and made a “jabbing motion” toward him. According to the affidavit, Facundo allegedly said, “I have a knife.”
The man kept his distance from Facundo, but continued to follow “as best he could before losing him,” according to the affidavit.
Officers began conducting an investigation and were searching in the 100 block of Spring Branch Cove. According to the affidavit, a nearby resident said she had video surveillance that showed the suspect walking to his residence.
The woman and her husband were shown the video footage and identified Facundo, who was wearing black pants, a plaid long sleeve shirt and a gray baseball cap.
Authorities talked with Facundo and his father at their home in the 100 block of Spring Branch Cove; the two allegedly said Facundo did not own a skateboard.
The homeowner whose garage Facundo went into said he didn’t have permission to enter her residence.
According to the affidavit, officers believed items Facundo discarded were stolen, which they believe his intentions of entering the garage was to commit an additional theft.
Facundo is currently being held on $75,000 bond.
