All three suspects were booked at the Glendale City Jail. Jackson said Leivasolis also has a $100,000 warrant out for his arrest for a robbery in Burbank.
"We stand resolute in our duty to protect the sanctity of every home and ensure the peace of mind for all residents. We will leverage every available resource at our disposal to confront those that threaten the safety and well-being of Glendale," Glendale Police Chief Manny Cid said in a statement.
