Investigators said a 14-year-old girl was home at the time of the break-in. She said the man knocked on the door and when nobody answered tried to kick in the door. The teen called police and hid under the back deck outside the home.

The man eventually kicked in the door and went through the home to the back deck, where the girl could hear him above her.

Responding officers arrived at the scene, securely surrounded the area and began an intense search for the man.

Officers found the man's car parked in the driveway, running with the keys in the ignition.

Snohomish County sheriff's deputies assisted with the search, and a Lynnwood police K-9 unit responded to help track the man, who was last seen running south from the home.

Police said the K-9 unit quickly located the man hiding in a thick brush area between a fence and the Douglas Fir development just south of the victim's home.

The man was taken into custody and later booked into the Snohomish County Jail on two outstanding warrants for his arrest, a felony warrant for escape and a misdemeanor warrant for possession of drug paraphernalia.

Additional charges for second-degree residential burglary, possession of stolen property and possession of drug paraphernalia will be filed by the Mill Creek Police Department.

The suspect's vehicle was impounded, and a search warrant was obtained. Numerous items were found in the vehicle, and the items may have been stolen from previous burglaries in Mill Creek and nearby areas.

Items found in the vehicle include: numerous baseball cards valued at approximately $6,000, two sound mix boards, two cameras, a cell phone, a VCR, two sets of formal silverware, numerous pieces of jewelry, drugs and drug paraphernalia.
