Kyle Myvett said he was asleep when his wife noticed an alert on their home security system showing someone rummaging through his truck.

“She’s like hey someone is rummaging through your truck,” Myvett recalled.

By the time he got outside, the suspect was gone. Myvett said he then got into his truck to check the area and noticed that a neighbor’s garage door was open.

Concerned, he called his neighbor and told him he would wait outside until the garage was secured.

While watching the home, Myvett spotted someone moving inside the garage.

He said he decided to approach the individual quietly and then made physical contact to stop him.

“Without the person seeing me, I grabbed a hold of their shirt and right wrist and told him listen, don’t try to get away, I have plenty of experience with this,” Myvett said.

Myvett, who has a background in corrections, said he was able to keep the suspect calm until officers arrived on the scene.

Cape Coral Police later identified the suspect as 20-year-old Justin Schimpl.

Investigators said Schimpl had also broken into a neighbor’s car and stolen two pairs of Ray-Ban sunglasses, cash, a wristlet, and several gift cards.

“He was taken into custody, he was arrested and charged, he’s facing multiple charges today thanks to Kyle and his Batman pajamas,” said Lisa Greenberg with the Cape Coral Police Department.

Myvett said his attire gave him an added boost of confidence. “I’m really glad I had my Batman pajamas on because that gave me the extra confidence I needed,” he said.

Police credited Myvett’s quick action with helping officers locate and arrest the suspect without further incident.

Authorities said Schimpl faces multiple charges related to burglary and theft.

Myvett said his decision to act was motivated by a desire to help his community. “We want to do as much as we can for the community, and hopefully others will start being better at being better,” he said.

The Cape Coral Police Department said the incident serves as a reminder for residents to secure their vehicles and garages and to promptly report suspicious activity.

Officers emphasized that while community involvement can be valuable, residents should always exercise caution and allow police to handle potentially dangerous situations whenever possible.

The arrest concludes what neighbors described as a tense situation, and police said the items stolen during the burglary were recovered.
