Chief Tango sends a link to this morning’s feel good story, this time it’s from Cedar Hill, Texas on Christmas Eve when Gareth Long heard someone break into his house through a window, so he grabbed his gun;
Knox said Long told the intruder, whom authorities identified as Slaven, that he had a weapon and repeatedly asked him to leave before shooting the man.
Cedar Hill city spokesman Corky Brown said the investigation has supported Long’s account.
The self-made victim, Joshua Slaven, was the mayor’s stepson who had a record of being a pest and some drug abuse;
Police records show [Cedar Hill Mayor Rob Franke] called officers to report his stepson had assaulted him on Nov. 17 after Franke “confronted him about a drug addiction.” Slaven was arrested.
On Nov. 25, Slaven returned to the home and a 31-day protective order was issued to keep him away, according to city records.
The house that Slaven broke into and entered was near his step-father’s home.
AAAH, another one goes to “room temperature”.
I love it when a home break in has a good ending.
Was he confused about which house to break into?
@2, seems he may have been.
