That\u2019s about a mile southwest of the I-69 interchange for U.S. 35 and State Road 22.<\/p>\n<p>Sheriff\u2019s deputies arrived and found two people outside the home, said a news release from sheriff\u2019s Capt. Ed Beaty. The two people were taken into protective custody. One of the two people, Matthew Whitt, 39 of Wabash, was arrested on a parole violation.<\/p>\n<p>The deputies also found a dead man lying on the floor near the back door of the home. He was suffering from what appeared to be gunshot wounds to the head and torso.<\/p>\n<p>The man was identified Tuesday as Steven Nickell, 33, of Muncie.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>1 \/ 2 \/ 0<br \/>\nProtective custody?

But the door was open, and his wife said it looked like it had been kicked in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I got up, got dressed, got my pistol,\u201d Phillips, 37, said Monday.<\/p>\n<p>He also called the Wayne County Sheriff\u2019s Office immediately, and reported the break-in at his West Salem home. The pistol Phillips grabbed became important a little while later, when he saw a man in a black coat trying to get back into his garage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI pulled my weapon up, told him to stop and to get on the ground,\u201d he said. \u201cI held him at gunpoint until the cops got there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Wayne County sheriff\u2019s deputy arrived on scene in the 12200 block of N. Elyria Road, about a mile north of Interstate 71, five to 10 minutes later, around 9:10 a.m., Phillips said. The deputy then handcuffed the suspect, identified as Michael S. Hooser, 37, of Lima, according to the Sheriff\u2019s Office incident report.<\/p>\n<p>Hooser on Monday was charged with one count of burglary, a second-degree felony, in Wayne County Municipal Court. He is being held in the Wayne County Jail in lieu of $15,000 bond, court records show. He is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing Friday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Hooser allegedly was in possession of property from several different nearby homes, garages and vehicles, including one neighbor\u2019s wallet and \u201can abundance of lighters, hand tools, flashlights and knives,\u201d according to the incident report. He also had a crystal-like substance, which deputies believe was methamphetamine, and a green leafy substance, suspected marijuana.<\/p>\n<p>And unbeknownst to Phillips at the time of the incident, Hooser was carrying a handgun and .380 caliber rounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just protected my property and my family,\u201d Phillips said of his actions. \u201cThat\u2019s about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deputies, who were joined on scene by the West Salem Police Department, recovered the gun, ammunition and suspected drugs. Authorities also were able to return most of the stolen property to its owners on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Hooser caused about $500 worth of damage to Phillips\u2019s garage door, according to the report. At a neighbor\u2019s house, Hooser allegedly used a pitchfork to break a glass storm door, and attempted to break into the home, causing an estimated $300 to $400 in damage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>0 \/ 1 \/ 0<br \/>\nNever bring a pitchfork, well, you know.
