GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Armando Corzo, 43, of Ft. White, was arrested early Sunday morning after allegedly kicking in the door and entering a home on Parker Road.

At about 1:34 a.m. Sunday morning, an Alachua County Sheriff’s (ASO) Deputy responded to the home after the 82-year-old victim called to say that someone had kicked in her door, broken the door frame, and entered the home. After she confronted him, he reportedly ran out of the home. The victim reportedly captured Corzo on her Ring camera.

ASO K-9 teams tracked Corzo across the street to the Family Church and located him there. When deputies tried to search Corzo, he reportedly pulled away and also dropped to the ground multiple times while deputies were transporting him.
