Zachary Hession, 21, was charged with first degree burglary while appearing at State Superior Court in Stamford in connection with a previous case.

After he yelled at the individual to leave his home, he reportedly saw someone exit his son's room and flee from the house. 

The resident told police that he had left his garage door open and the interior door to the kitchen unlocked that evening. No items were taken in the incident.
