Blountville homeowner holds burglary suspect at gunpoint until deputies arrive

A Blountville homeowner held an intruder at gunpoint when he spotted him going into his travel camper Tuesday morning.

The Reedy Creek Lane resident told Sullivan County Sheriff's deputies he first thought a relative had entered his camper, which was parked in his driveway.

When he discovered the man was a stranger, he went to get his gun.

He returned with his pistol to find the man inside his car, which was parked next to the camper, according to a sheriff's office spokesman.

The homeowner held the man at gunpoint until deputies arrived to arrest him.

1. I'm sure that took a lot of restraint.

2. Perhaps

But maybe he didn't want to clean the car after! Makes a hell of a mess, and insurence probably won't pay for it.

4. A very unviolent day in the life of a gun owner. The lack of violence is common.

I had a friend who went through a similar experience. The perp was pretty uncooperative though. But he still didn't get hurt.

5. Glad your friend is okay. Glad the perp didn't force the issue.

6. A happy ending.

Safety and responsible use of a firearm and prison for the criminal.
