Homeowner shoots at would-be burglars

Two men escaped injury after a homeowner shot at them during a break-in.

On April 24, Cherokee County Sheriff’s Deputy James Carver and Sheriff Jason Chennault were dispatched to the Pumpkin Hollow area for a burglary in progress.

The caller said two men tried entering his home by breaking a window. The man said the intruders broke into the back door of the residence.

The homeowner was armed with a shotgun and confronted the suspects. The homeowner fired the gun at the men and they fled.

“Upon arrival at the scene, Deputy Carver and Sheriff Chennault located the suspects’ vehicle parked in the yard of the residence. The vehicle was loaded with items that had been stolen from outbuildings on the property,” the CCSO report said. “Deputy Carver and Sheriff Chennault found a foot trail in the wet grass leading away from the residence. Deputy Austin Cluck and his K-9 partner, Lucas, were called to the scene; Lucas was able to track the suspects’ trail to a dirt road, where it appeared the suspects met a vehicle.”

Chennault, along with deputies, searched the Pumpkin Hollow area and found one of the men who matched the homeowner’s description.

James Levesque admitted he had a role in the burglary, and the vehicle found at the scene was registered to him.

Carver determined the other man involved in the crime was Chase Baker.

“Deputies Carver, Cluck, Aaron Johnson and Deputy Marshal John C. Wofford located Baker at a residence in the Briggs area and arrested him.

Levesque and Baker were taken to the Cherokee County Detention Center where they were booked for the felony crimes of first-degree burglary and knowingly concealing stolen property,” the report said.

Neither suspect was injured by the fired shotgun and the recovered stolen property will be returned to the homeowner.

State hospital escapee shot by Wichita County homeowner

WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — The Wichita County Sheriff said a grand jury will determine whether a man was justified in shooting another man who escaped from the North Texas State Hospital Wednesday night.

It happened at 3225 West Rathgaber Road between 9–9:30 p.m.

Sheriff David Duke said Matthew Reyes, 25, noticed a janitor lay keys down on a table and then found the key that let him out of the facility.

Soon after that, Duke said a woman at the home on Rathgeber Road noticed Reyes swimming in her pool in only his underwear.

Duke said the woman called 9-1-1, and that’s when Reyes noticed her looking at him out the back window and tried to get into the house.

Duke said by that time, the woman’s husband arrived home and grabbed a shotgun.

The 42-year-old homeowner said he confronted Reyes who got on the ground before then charging him.

Reyes was shot once in the right leg, and that’s when deputies arrived followed by EMS.

At United Regional, Duke said medical personnel found the janitor’s keys inserted inside Reyes’ body when x-raying for pellets.

Reyes was flown to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth where he is undergoing surgeries.

He was court-ordered to the North Texas State Hospital from Denton County, and Duke said he will return there to the state hospital.

The case remains under investigation.

Sacramento County homeowner shoots suspect who led officers on chase

A suspect who led law enforcement on a vehicle chase from Rocklin to Sacramento County on Monday was shot by a bystander after getting out of the vehicle and running from the scene, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said.

The suspect was taken to the hospital for treatment with non-life-threatening injuries, the sheriff’s office said.

The suspect was wanted in connection with attempting to rob Rocklin businesses over the weekend, Rocklin police said. The suspect smashed his car into a nail salon and a cell phone store on Commons Drive. Investigators said they did not find any items missing, so far.

On Monday, an officer in an unmarked Rocklin police car saw the suspect vehicle around 6:15 p.m. near Eureka Road and Interstate 80. A patrol unit responded to the scene and tried to pull over the suspect.

However, the suspect drove away, leading officers on a chase, police said.

The California Highway Patrol took over the chase, which entered Sacramento County.

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said deputies then got involved, saying the suspect was seen, at one point, going westbound in the eastbound lanes of I-80 near Watt Avenue.

The chase eventually ended in the Foothill Farms area of Sacramento County when the suspect got out of the car and ran.

A homeowner who lives in the 4400 block of Belmont Place Lane shot the suspect, the sheriff’s office said. The homeowner and his wife were on their back patio. At some point, the homeowner said he feared for his life and shot the suspect.

“It’s unclear at this time if the suspect had gained entry into the residence or if he attempted to gain entry or what the nature of that confrontation was with the homeowner,” Sacramento County sheriff’s Sgt. Tess Deterding said. “But we do know that the homeowner fired at the suspect, striking him and that he was transported to an area hospital.”

The sheriff’s office said it is too soon to determine whether the homeowner could face any charges. At this point, investigators believe the shooting was in self-defense.

No law enforcement officer fired their weapon, the sheriff’s office said. The homeowner was not injured.

Deputies detained a passenger who was in the car with the suspect, the sheriff’s office said.

No other details were released.

Homeowner shoots suspect in West Plains home invasion

SPOKANE COUNTY — A man who said he was just doing a homeowners dishes was shot by the homeowner in a possible occupied residential burglary last night.

According to a Spokane County Sheriff’s Office report, deputies and Airway Heights police officers were called to the home on the 2600 block of North Colville Road — northeast of Airway Heights and north of Palisades Park just off Trails Road — at about 11:55 p.m. on a call of a burglary in progress. The report said the homeowner and his wife were upstairs watching TV and had just turned it off when he heard a noise downstairs.

Fearing an intruder the homeowner armed himself with a shotgun and went downstairs where he encountered a man, later identified as 29-year-old Kenneth B. Caldero, in the kitchen using the microwave. When the homeowner asked Caldero what he was doing he replied he was doing their dishes, upon which the homeowner told him to leave.

Caldero failed to follow the instructions, and the homeowner again demand he leave. Caldero began walking toward the house’s staircase, and fearing for his family’s safety, yelled at him to stop or he would fire, at which point Caldero apparently advanced on the homeowner and struggle ensued. The homeowner fired a round of birdshot into the home’s floor, at which point Caldero stepped back and then again advanced on the homeowner.

The homeowner was able to load another round in the shotgun’s chamber as Caldero continued his advance and fire a round into the intruder’s leg. Caldero subsequently fled the residence and was found by officers a short distance away yelling for help and bleeding profusely from his thigh. Officers applied immediate medical attention to deal with Caldero’s wound, and after medics arrived and rendered further assistance, he was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Caldero told officers he thought he was at a friends house and went inside to use the bathroom but must have gone into the wrong house because “some guy shot him.” He provided the name of the friend, but after further questioning said his friend was in prison, which deputies were able to confirm. Deputies were unable to locate any call history of Caldero’s friend at the victim’s residence or even near it.

Caldero remains hospitalized and will face first-degree burglary charges when released. Deputies said the homeowner will not face charges with the information currently known.

Man shoots suspect after ‘fearing for his life’ in Bel Air

BEL AIR, Md. (WBFF) – A man was injured in an overnight shooting in Bel Air, at an apartment complex off of Harford County’s Route 24.

Tyler Reid, 28, was found suffering from a gunshot wound to the upper body at about 12:59 a.m. on Foxhall Drive in the Calverts Walk complex, said the Harford County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators determined Reid, who doesn’t live at the location, got in an argument with his girlfriend, who lives there, said the Sheriff’s Office.

Jordan Ellison, 27, another resident, got involved in the altercation and Reid physically assaulted him, said the Sheriff’s Office.

Ellison fired a round at Reid with a rifle during the struggle, saying he was fearing for his life, said the Sheriff’s Office.

Ellison has not been charged in this case. Charges are pending against Reid for second-degree assault and will be pursued after his release from the hospital.

My guess is that the guy declined to press charges and let the teenager off the hook because things will be taken care of on the street, instead of in the courtroom. But that’s just me taking into consideration ‘The Chicago Way’.

Dinos were chasing him…… Were they pink?

Florida mother shot burglar who entered home because ‘dinosaurs were chasing him

DELTONA, Fla. – A Florida man was shot by a mother of three after deputies say he broke into her Deltona home early Tuesday morning because he thought that dinosaurs were chasing him.

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said this happened at a home on the 2600 block of Libby Court.

According to deputies, 32-year-old Joseph L. Roberts tried to break into the home around 5:45 a.m. by shattering a front window.

“The woman inside, a 42-year-old mother with several teenagers in the house, called 911, saying ‘I don’t want to shoot him, but I’m going to have to! Get out of my window! Get out of my window!'”

Sheriff Mike Chitwood said during a press conference that the mother gave White several verbal warnings to leave. When he didn’t, she opened fire.

When deputies arrived, they say they found Roberts in the house — and he had quite an interesting story.

“He told us that the dinosaurs were chasing him and he thought he got some bad weed.”

White was airlifted to Central Florida Regional Hospital in Sanford with non life-threatening injuries after being shot in the forearm.

“He’s lucky she was a bad shot.”

Chitwood said they are seeking an enhanced penalty for committing a burglary during a national emergency.

“I guess the only explanation is watch where you’re buying your weed at during this time.”
