Now, he will have to answer to a judge for a list of charges, including burglary, stalking, and interfering with the custody of children.
The arrest comes just 24 hours after Action News shared a video of the man walking through a kitchen on Pennsylvania Avenue around 4 a.m. on Christmas Eve.

He then went to the bedroom of a 9-year-old girl.
"Somebody knew this guy because, in reference to the tip that was received, you can tell that it was from someone that knew about this guy and what he was doing," said Detective Jose Colon with Coatesville police.

Police identified Gonzalez from a tip and he turned himself in.
For the little girl impacted by this crime and her mother, this news comes as a huge relief.
"When I told her she was so happy, so happy that it's over. She can know she doesn't have to worry about this man coming into her room again," said mother Tiffany Szabara from Coatesville.
She says Gonzalez broke into her house through the back door or window four times since September.
Each time, the mother says, he went to the girl's room to watch her sleep or try to get her to leave the house with him.

"I don't think she completely understands the gravity of the situation. She knows that it's a terrifying experience," said Szabara.
It's an experience that is now over for the Szabara family, who have been living a nightmare.
Gonzalez's bond has been set at $150,000.
Police are now also looking into a tip that Gonzalez may have been living on the same street as the family.
