Parolee Arrested After Attempted Home Invasion at Fresno City Attorney's House

FRESNO, California — A security camera video has captured the moment a parolee attempted an armed home invasion at the residence of Fresno's City Attorney, raising local concerns over safety and political violence.

The incident occurred on May 17, 2026, at the home of City Attorney Andrew Janz. According to police, the suspect, identified as a parolee, was observed approaching the property armed with a weapon. The home security system recorded the suspect's movements as he attempted to gain entry to the house. Fortunately, the security measures in place prevented the intruder from entering the home, and police were immediately notified.

Fresno Police officers responded swiftly and apprehended the suspect shortly after the incident.

The suspect now faces charges of attempted home invasion, weapons violations, and parole revocation.
