A Michigan man is behind bars on a laundry list of charges after allegedly breaking into a sleepover and stabbing an 11-year-old girl repeatedly, according to the Kent County Sheriff’s Office.

The bravery of the homeowner appears to have saved the child’s life, according to law enforcement. The father of the girl hosting the sleepover quickly sprung into action and confronted the home invader — holding him at gunpoint until sheriff’s deputies arrived.

Now, Ricardo Perez Castillo, 24, stands accused of one count each of assault with intent to murder, home invasion in the first degree, assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct involving penetration, and carrying a weapon with unlawful intent.
