Matthew P. Miller, 35, faces one count of home invasion and one count of attempt residential burglary, South Barrington Police Chief Michael Garrison said in a release.

Miller was arrested early Monday after a 2.5 hour standoff with authorities that followed at least two break-ins in the suburb northwest of Chicago.

Home Invasion is a Class X Felony. If convicted, Miller may face a sentence between six and 30 years in prison. Residential Burglary is a class 1 felony that carries a maximum sentence of four to 15 years.
