A 43-year-old Long Beach man found heavily armed and inside his ex-girlfriend's home over the weekend was formally charged with a number of felonies Tuesday, including stalking and making death threats.

Dy Khensouvann appeared briefly in the Long Beach Superior Court for his arraignment, which was postponed until May 11.

Khensouvann was arrested Sunday after Long Beach Police Department East Division Officers got a call from a local woman who feared for not only her life, but the lives of her entire family and friends, said Nancy Pratt, a Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman.

The victim told officers that her ex-boyfriend threatened to kill her and everyone she knew and was so terrified she fled her East Long Beach home, near Wardlow and Studebaker roads.

As officers talked to the woman she received a phone call from an acquaintance warning her that Khensouvann's 2005 green GMC pickup truck was parked down the street from her house, which is near El Dorado Park.

The patrol officers then called Khensouvann on his cell phone, and the suspect admitted he was inside in the victim's home, Pratt said.

The officers were able to talk Khensouvann into surrendering peacefully and found him with rifle rounds on his person and a rifle and magazine stashed in his pickup, Pratt said.

Police found more ammunition and some assault rifles when they searched the suspect's home, near 10th Street and Obispo Avenue, Pratt said.

Khensouvann is charged with stalking, making criminal threats, residential burglary, possession of armor-penetrating rounds, possession of a concealed weapon in the vehicle, possession of assault rifles and possession of firearms with metal-piercing rounds, Pratt said.

He is being held in lieu of more than $1 million bail.
