The alleged burglar acted as though he would give up, but then stood up and brandished his knife again. The homeowner then drew a firearm and told the burglar that he would shoot if he did not drop the knife. The armed citizen kept the would-be intruder at bay until officers arrived on scene.
Authorities arrested the suspect, who is being held at the DeKalb County Jail and faces charges of second-degree burglary, menacing, first-degree trespassing and third-degree criminal mischief. (WVUA 23; 5/6/23; Ider, Ala.)
