An armed squatter who broke into a vacation home in California’s Yosemite National Park and lived there for several months has been given a new home — behind bars.

Devin Michael Cuellar, 29, was sentenced Monday to five years and three months in prison for squatting and trashing the home from May through September 2021 — while also being a felon armed with a sawed-off shotgun and ammo, federal prosecutors said.

Cuellar also kept stolen items inside the house, including a toolbox, a flat-screen television and wrought-iron candle holders, according to the Union Democrat.

Authorities said they first became alerted to Cuellar’s illegal stay in August 2021, when the owner of the property reported that she left her home unsecured and had returned to find trash and drug paraphernalia strewn throughout, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Police searched the property about a week later and found mail addressed to Cuellar and other items tied to local law enforcement reports of stolen property in June.

By October, the property owner contacted authorities again and told them that she found a shotgun inside a closet that did not belong to her.

It is unclear how police linked the break-in to Cuellar and when, exactly, he left the house.

But when police and National Parks Service officials questioned Cuellar about the incident, he initially denied he had been in Wawona, telling police he hadn’t been there “in years.”

Authorities then questioned an unidentified underage female accomplice who admitted she knew the daughter of the property owner, and that she had stayed there with Cuellar, according to the Chronicle.

It is also unclear whether the accomplice was charged with any wrongdoing.

Cuellar was charged in a six-count federal indictment in December 2022 with being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, being a drug addict in possession of a sawed-off shotgun and ammunition, destruction of property, receiving stolen property, theft, and making a false statement to park rangers.

Federal officials note he was previously convicted of carjacking and possessing controlled substances for sale, and was therefore prohibited under state law from owning a firearm or ammunition.

Cuellar was homeless at the time of his arrest, and pleaded guilty to the charges in May, according to the Visalia Times Delta.
