According to officials, the children said he asked if they’d like to get into the truck and go to the park.
“The kids went inside a house, and Antanacio-Perez came onto the property, knocked on the doors and windows, and then came inside,” deputies said. “A parent confronted him and told him to leave, and he did.”
A neighbor took a photo of Antanacio-Perez and a photo of his truck.
Deputies patrolled the neighborhood and found Antanacio-Perez. He denied talking with the children or entering a house, deputies said.
Antanacio-Perez is charged with four counts of luring a child and one count of burglary of an occupied dwelling. He is being held on a $14,000 bond.
