‘My heart sank to my stomach:’ Man holds intruder at gunpoint with dog until Watertown police arrive
By BEN MUIR
WATERTOWN — Jonathan Fisher opened his basement door shortly after midnight Friday and saw a man on the stairs. He held the man at gunpoint with his dog until police arrived.Mr. Fisher, who lives on Mill Street, is still a bit shaken after the incident as his wife and kids were in the house, too. It’s highly possible that the man had been in his basement for hours.
The incident led to the arrest of James R. Jarrett, 31, of Creekwood Drive. Mr. Jarrett was charged with second-degree burglary, fourth-degree criminal mischief and violating probation after he allegedly broke into Mr. Fisher’s home at 544 Mill St.
According to city police, shortly after midnight, Mr. Fisher was in his bedroom when he heard some noises downstairs.

What caliber was that gun dog?
.40 Sniff & Wag’in’
“….but instead pepper sprayed himself. The two men were able to hold him down until police arrived.”
I would have had him lay down, face down, arms outstretched, palms up. Then I step on one hand. Guar-an-dam-teed he’s not going to roll over, jump up, or go anywhere until I get off his hand.
I should have bought that Colt 1908 at the range when I moved down here in 2007 for a great price but put it off. Saw a number of them at the gun show but lost interest and then when I decided to buy one, I didn’t see any. Those were the ones used in the old black&white detective movies I watch on TCM plus ladies with the Colt .25’s. Got a .25 from a late neighbor who was a retired Yonkers NY Detective and his daughter gave it to me. Took it down to parade rest to clean all the parts and tried it at the range, cleaned it and put it in a vaccum bag wrapped in Brownells rust inhibiting paper.
Guess Mr. Stanley is well seasoned now, huh?
