Police said Perry broke a bedroom window and climbed into the home through the broken window, which set off an alarm.
When he heard the alarm, Perry grabbed a few items from the home and tried unsuccessfully to get away through the home's garage.
Unable to escape through the garage, Perry climbed back out the broken window, leaving behind blood and fingerprints that allowed police to identify him.
Officials said Perry has multiple previous felony convictions, including another conviction for burglary to a dwelling earlier this year, which he is awaiting sentencing on.
Perry is facing 30 years in prison as a habitual felony offender and will be sentenced the week of July 27.
