Tuesday morning feel good story

Today’s story didn’t end well for the homeowner, yet. It’s from Louisiana;

Investigators said they were called out to the home invasion on Walker South Road just after noon, but the investigation showed it all got started in Prairieville earlier in the day.

Detectives said it is believed that’s where [17-year-old Benjamin] Jarreau stole a 2009 Ford Fusion. They added he is also suspected of a burglary at a home in Prairieville in which a .22 rifle was taken. They think he then drove to Walker and went into the home “without consent” and armed with the gun.

According to detectives, the two adults and child inside were held against their will for about three hours. During that time, Jarreau is accused of taking their phones and keys. He is also accused of forcing them to search the home for drugs and money.

Investigators reported after about three hours, [24-year-old Aaron] Neames returned home. They said Neames and Jarreau know one another. They were described as acquaintances. Investigators said when Neames showed up at the house Jarreau fired three shots inside the home.

Authorities said a fight then broke out between the two and Neames was able to take the gun from Jarreau. They added Jarreau ran out the door, jumped in the stolen car and tried to drive off, but Neames reportedly fired shots at him and the car. Jarreau suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder.

So, Jarreau was charged with illegal use of a weapon, illegal possession of a stolen firearm, illegal possession of a stolen vehicle, 3 counts of aggravated kidnapping and home invasion. Neames was charged with attempted second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon. But, you know, if someone kidnapped my family, I’d want to make sure that they never came back to my home, too.
