A brazen daytime burglary Thursday ended in arrest and serious charges after a suspect allegedly kicked down an apartment’s front door and struck the victim with blasts from a Taser multiple times. 

 

Somehow the victim fled the apartment and managed to call police after being hit several times with a Taser. The incident occurred at three in the afternoon on the 1400 block of North Cherry Street in Chico. 

An arriving officer spotted a man believed to be the suspect leaving the unit with property belonging to the resident, and a Taser. Police identified the man as 34-year-old Lawrence Studyvin. He was charged with home invasion robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a stun gun by a felon.
