FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KMJ/KFSN) — A man has been arrested after sheriff’s deputies say he say physically assaulted and stabbed a woman after entering her Fresno County home.

Authorities say 41-year-old Samuel Rodriguez went to the home on Belmont and DeWolf between 7:30 and 8 pm Sunday.

Deputies say the front door was unlocked and the garage was open when Rodriguez went inside and attacked the woman.

After the assault, the woman locked herself in a room until a family member came home and called 911.

Rodriguez was taken into custody around 1 pm Tuesday at a Jack in the Box in Sanger.

He will be charged with attempted murder.
