Littleton Officers Arrest Home Intruder

On March 26, 2011 at approximately 3:30 a.m., Littleton Police received a call to an apartment at 5780 S. Curtice St., from a distressed woman stating that an unknown male was attempting to break into her apartment. The woman, who lived with her teenage niece, told police dispatch that the male was shouting and attempting to forcibly break in. Staying on the phone with dispatch, the woman stated that the man had broken through her patio doors and was now inside her apartment and attempting to kick in her locked bedroom door where she and her niece were hiding. The man was reportedly shouting that he was going to "crucify them."

Littleton Police officers made entry into the apartment and confronted the suspect, Kevin D. KRIEGER, DOB 01/02/1984, who was found standing in the hallway outside the resident's bedroom door. KRIEGER, who was armed with a knife, was arrested without incident and taken to the Arapahoe County Jail and held on a $50,000 bond for First Degree Burglary. There were no injuries.
