“He picked the wrong place to try and break into”

A prepared homeowner versus a would-be burglar. MPD: Homeowner shoots at would-be burglar

Nutbush is a rural community in Haywood County, Tennessee, about 50 miles northeast of Memphis.

A Nutbush man scared off a would-be burglar with a warning shot early Thursday morning.

While Steve Huntley, 70, was fast asleep, an intruder made his way to the back door of his Nutbush home in an effort to get inside.

“And he was ‘bump, bump, bump,’ that’s what got my dogs stirred up,” Huntley said.

You can click thru for the details including the rise in crime in the area in which Mr. Huntley lives. He is prepared because his son died in a shooting a few years back, and he is determined to protect the rest of his family.

“He picked the wrong place to try and break into,” he said. “Because my motto is ‘if you come in here, you are going to meet your maker.'”

Cops arrested the guy who was trying to break in, but they did not publish what charges he will face. I think we can still say that this is a case of "Good Guys 1, Bad Guys 0."
