A man is in the McLennan County jail on $140,000 bond after police say he burglarized two homes over the weekend.

The Waco Police Department said they were called to the 2800 block of Colonial Avenue after a 13-year-old girl found a man inside her home.

Police say the teen called her father, who called a neighbor and police.

When the neighbor got there to check on the teen, the neighbor found the man, 17-year-old Roderick Dewayne Young, inside his house.

As the neighbor approached him, Young pointed the gun at him before running out of the back of the house.

After a chase, police arrested Young. He did not have the gun on him at the time.

Young is facing multiple charges, including aggravated assault, burglary of habitation and evading arrest.
