Armed 95-year-old foils home invasion in Covington County<\/a><\/p>\n

COVINGTON COUNTY, Ala. (WSFA) – The Covington County Sheriff\u2019s Office is crediting a senior citizen with forcing an alleged burglar into retreat, which ended with his capture.<\/p>\n

Sheriff Blake Turman said Timothy Ray Jordan, 40, broke into a home on Fisherman\u2019s Road near the Dozier community Friday evening. The 95-year-old homeowner was reportedly napping in his living room, but the back door\u2019s shattering glass woke him up.<\/p>\n

The sheriff said the homeowner armed himself and caught Jordan ransacking the kitchen. He said Jordan also hurled a chair through the dining room window at some point.<\/p>\n

According to the sheriff, the armed senior citizen did not run away. Instead, he ordered Jordan to leave. The suspect did, and the homeowner called 911, Turman said.<\/p>\n

Turman said deputies saw Jordan behind a home on Hub Road. They pursued the suspect, who ran inside the home. Further investigation revealed that Jordan had also burglarized that Hub Road home, according to the sheriff.<\/p>\n

He was\u00a0taken into custody at the Hub Road residence.<\/p>\n

Investigators say Jordan initially started his \u201cburglary spree\u201d at an adjacent\u00a0home\u2019s gazebo before going to the Fisherman\u2019s Road address.<\/p>\n

Jordan was charged with second-degree and third-degree burglary, as well as second-degree and third-degree criminal mischief.<\/p>\n

He is currently being held in the Covington County jail without bond for probation violation. The investigation is still ongoing.<\/div>\n

\u201cThe\u00a0victim\u00a0protected himself and his property from a career criminal.\u00a0The victim\u00a0was\u00a0at a disadvantage\u00a0physically,\u00a0but\u00a0his weapon enabled him to protect himself. The investigation revealed that Jordan fled the residence because the homeowner\u00a0had armed himself. Thank God this had a good ending, and the victim should be commended on his courage and quick thinking,\u201d Turman said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
