Last July, Carbondale Police officers responded to a 911 call reporting a home invasion at an apartment complex on Grand Avenue in Carbondale.

Three women told officers a man they knew ran through the apartment and out a bedroom window. Moments later, Palacio entered the apartment wearing a ski mask and brandishing a handgun. As he left, Palacio pulled down his mask to reveal his face.The women identified Palacio by reviewing mugshots. As a convicted felon, he is prohibited from possessing a firearm.

Palacio will be sentenced in about six weeks.
