Sherry Wheeler was home with her son who was sick Thursday when all of a sudden they heard pounding on their side door.

Wheeler and her son barricaded themselves inside a bathroom and called 911.

Unified officers got to the home in less than a minute and were able to capture the suspect as he ran out the same door he broke down to get in.

Officers arrested 21-year-old Jorge Zamora who may now face charges for violating parole, burglary and criminal mischief.
