It causes you to do stupid stuff, and then you get shot. Homeowner shoots intruder in Pike County, Kentucky
After he got shot, he was arrested.
According to Kentucky State Police, troopers were called to the scene just before midnight after an intruder was shot by a homeowner. KSP says the man had entered a home on West 5th Street in Elkhorn City and started threatening the homeowner and their family.
He was armed, but his gun did not go off when he tried to fire it. The homeowner shot him in the leg, and he left.
According to KSP, troopers found Standifur in an alleyway near the home and say he was allegedly under the influence of alcohol during the incident. Troopers say he still had the firearm and allegedly made multiple threats to harm law enforcement.
It took them a couple of hours to get him into custody, and he is charge with resisting arrest in addition to the home invasion, and one of the charges is attempted murder. Police say that "alcohol intoxication" was involved. Color me surprised.
Pike County, Kentucky is about 110 miles southeast of Lexington, or about 110 miles northeast of Knoxville, Tennessee.
The injury to his leg was non-life-threatening. He was taken to a local hospital, and then to lockup.
Self-defense is a human right. Good Guys 1, Bad Guys 0.
