Repeat Offender Breaks Into Denver Home

A Denver couple, Kevin and Sarah Root, experienced a frightening home invasion when a stranger entered their house around 3:30 a.m. with their four children asleep upstairs. Kevin confronted the intruder, identified as 36-year-old Charley Cooley, and managed to push him down the stairs while Sarah called 911. Cooley, a repeat offender, was arrested but later released on a $500 bond, raising concerns for the Roots about his potential to reoffend. Despite the trauma, the couple expressed gratitude that no one was physically harmed and emphasized the importance of feeling safe in their home.
