Wednesday Morning Feel Good Stories
Chief Tango sends us a couple of feel good stories this morning, the first is from Alabama, where Kenneth Johnson discovered that not everyone is as impressed with his naked form as he seems to be;
Police said Johnson entered the home in Camden Cove through the attached garage. Once inside, police said Johnson took off his clothes and walked in on the 15 and 17-year-old boys.
Investigators said the younger teen called police while the older one grabbed his father’s gun and ran him out of the house.
Police said the man wandered around the area before coming back to the home, where they arrested him.
The next story comes from Florida where NJ Logan was forced to chase a burglar from her home with a firearm;
“I don’t know what was going on in my mind. Honestly all I wanted was my gun,” she said.
She grabbed it and went downstairs.
“I was probably running down the stairs with my new hip so to speak,” said NJ.
She yelled out warnings to whoever was downstairs.
“I didn’t want to shoot. I really didn’t want to have to shoot anybody,” she said.
She then called for help.
“When I called 911 she kept saying put the gun down. Put the gun down and I said I’ll put the gun down when I see the police,” NJ said.
The next story comes from North Carolina where a store employee was forced to return fire at thieves;
Officers said the men entered Jerry’s Mini Mart on Mount Holly Road around 9:20 p.m. and robbed the business at gunpoint.
As they fled, police said one of the men fired a shot at an employee. The employee then shot back but nobody was struck.
Police said the suspects, described as black males in their early 20s with their faces covered, ran off. One of the thieves had long dreads.
In Delaware, a woman had to defend herself and her son when they encountered a fellow turning his life around in their home;
According to investigators, a female homeowner and her son entered the unoccupied home that was undergoing renovation and discovered a male suspect sleeping inside.
The homeowner confronted the suspect and a physical struggle ensued. During the struggle, the homeowner, who was armed with a handgun, fired the weapon, striking the suspect in the lower body.
The suspect ran out of the home, but was later tracked down in a wooded area and taken into custody.
He was taken to a Christiana Hospital in good condition.
A neighbor, Lou Fournarakis says, “Hey, all the better for her. If someone wanted to break into my house I’d want to do the same thing.”
Neighbors also tell CBS 3 there have been break-ins at this home in the past, even people partying inside.
Finally, in Ohio;
Kristina Lynne Holskey, 39, reportedly broke into the apartment of Terry J. McConnell, 46, at 10701/2 Linden Ave. just north of downtown Zanesville about 3:30 a.m., said Zanesville Police Capt. Tony Coury.
A neighbor living in the ground-floor apartment below McConnell called 911 to report hearing gunshots. When police arrived, they found McConnell with a gunshot wound in his stomach. He was transported to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center in Columbus, where he remained in serious condition yesterday.
Holskey was on the floor, bleeding but still alive. She was transported to Genesis Good Samaritan hospital in Zanesville, where she later died.
Holskey, of Dresden, had an extensive record in Zanesville Municipal Court, with charges including domestic violence, petty theft, menacing and possession of drug paraphernalia.
