From Port Orchard, Washington<\/a>;<\/p>\n

A man who shot an intruder in his yard last week told a Kitsap County sheriff\u2019s detective that after hearing somebody bang on the windows of his house, he armed himself and went outside to confront the suspect, who appeared to be on drugs or having a mental crisis.<\/p>\n

The homeowner said he shot at the man when he came around a corner and charged him, but didn\u2019t believe he hit him. During the confrontation, the homeowner \u201cbear-hugged\u201d the suspect and took him to the ground, then ordered him to stay there until officers arrived. His wife and children watched from the doorway.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe scared the daylights out of me,\u201d the homeowner told a detective, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

The suspect, 28-year-old Jeffrey Preston Ratcliff, was taken to a Tacoma hospital for surgery following the April 26 shooting and was discharged Tuesday morning. Deputies arrested him at his house in Port Orchard in the afternoon and booked him into the Kitsap County Jail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
