In Louisiana, Vontrail Walker, wanted on a peeping Tom warrant, evades a homeowner he victimized, but not the cops;

A resident heard a noise in the hallway outside his bedroom, grabbed his gun and fired at Walker, who ran away, the report says.

The victim identified Walker, who lives less than a quarter-mile away at his grandmother’s house, deputies said. When investigators went to the house, Walker jumped from his bed and began attacking them, the report says.

Deputies used a stun gun on Walker and then handcuffed him but he got away from them and ran into a wooded area behind the house, the report says. He was captured shortly after and admitted to the burglary, the report says.
