Paris Hilton‘s knife-brandishing home intruder has been found guilty of first-degree residential burglary.

Nathan Lee Parada faces up to three years in prison after trying to break into the socialite’s house in August 2010. Hilton’s boyfriend, Cy Waits, pulled a firearm on Parada and held him at gunpoint until police arrived.

Two days ago, the couple was walking into a court to testify against Parada when a second man, James Rainford, struck Waits in the back of the head.

Parada will be sentenced on June 29.
