A suspect was arrested Wednesday after showing up at hospital seeking medical treatment for multiple gunshot wounds received during an alleged home intrusion.The incident occurred in Athens, Alabama, where WAFF reported that 31-year-old Tanner Stewart Phillips allegedly forced entry into a home just after midnight. He was wearing a mask and bulletproof vest and armed with a rifle and a handgun.
Phillips allegedly pointed the rifle at the homeowner, at which time the homeowner shot him numerous times.
RocketCityNow noted that the homeowner called police but Phillips was gone “by the time deputies arrived.” However, Phillips soon arrived at Decatur-Morgan Hospital for his gunshot wounds and the hospital contacted police.
Phillips was arrested and charged “with Unlawful Breaking and Entering a Vehicle, First-degree robbery, and Burglary in the first degree.”

If Mr Phillips was wearing a ballistic vest (and not just an empty plate carrier), I have to wonder, where was he shot that he felt he needed to go to the hospital?
As a corollary, if he WAS wearing a vest, and was shot in the vest, and went to the hospital, it proves that vests don’t nullify physics. All that bullet force (f=mv) has to go somewhere. Usually in bruising, cracked ribs, and hydrostatic shock to internal organs.
You may not die, but you’ll feel like it anyway.
Additional curiosity question, what caliber was the homeowner using on Mr Phillips? If you’re gonna make a burglar hurt, be sure to use a large enough caliber, preferably one that starts with a “4”.
.410 slug?
12ga 00?
That’ll put a bruise on your nipples if wearing a ballistic vest.
Hope he saved the receipt on that “bulletproof vest”, because he should get his money back. 🥴😝
He went in as a burglar but came out as a saint because he was now holey.
D’OH!
