Thursday morning feel good stories
From Crawford County, Arkansas;
A homeowner wrestled with an intruder before shooting him in the head overnight in Crawford County, the sheriff said Wednesday (June 6).
Sheriff Ron Brown said the homeowner’s alarm went off about 3 a.m. in the 2700 block of Clear Creek Road near Kibler. The homeowner grabbed his shotgun and went to investigate the source of the alarm. He told deputies that when he opened the door, the intruder attacked him.
The homeowner said he wrestled with the intruder, then shot him with the shotgun. The intruder ran off, Brown said.
The intruder was arrested later at a traffic stop and was taken to Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville with a shotgun wound to the head. He was reportedly in stable condition.
From Youngstown, Florida;
Officers arrived at a Rainbow Food Store in Youngstown on May 31 after police were called to confront a man who was allegedly carrying a gun. When Sheriff Tommy Ford, Deputy Chief Joel Heape, and Maj. Jimmy Stanford found the suspect in the store, he was actually carrying a hammer and began attacking the officers.
Maj. Stanford had a surprise for their attacker and “bush-whacked” the suspect. “I saw Jimmy poke his head out, the next thing I know he steps out with a can of Bush’s extra brown sugar baked beans and hits the suspect in the upper body and distracts him,” Sheriff Ford said, via the Panama City News Herald.
The deputy pelted Justin Tyler Stanford with two cans of beans, giving his partners the chance to wrestle the 25-year-old to the ground and arrest him. The hammer-wielding man was charged with assault with a deadly weapon on an officer, resisting arrest with violence, and DUI for an accident he was reportedly in before entering the Rainbow Food Store.
An update to last week’s story from Harvey, Louisiana;
A 66-year-old man fatally shot when authorities say he entered a Harvey home without permission and attacked a resident has been identified by the Jefferson Parish Coroner’s Office as Norbert Leblanc.
Leblanc, of Harvey, died May 29 of a gunshot wound to the abdomen, said Mark Bone, chief death investigator for the coroner’s office.
Leblanc was accused of entering the unlocked Maple Street home of a romantic rival around 6 a.m. while armed with a pistol. The 53-year-old male resident of the home said Leblanc assaulted him while he was still in bed.
The resident, who is not being identified by NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune because he is not facing criminal charges in the shooting, said LeBlanc had become obsessed with his girlfriend, who was also in bed when the attack occurred.
“He came in the house, and he pistol-whipped me,” the resident said of Leblanc.
During a scuffle between the two men, Leblanc was shot in the abdomen. He was taken to a local hospital where doctors pronounced him dead a short time later.

“… shotgun wound to the head. He was reportedly in stable condition.”
Sadly…that sometimes happens if you don’t hit anything vital
Doc,
I was thinking the same thing…
The homeowner should have shot the intruder in the ass and it would have been instant death.
Beans, beans, the musical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot
The more you toot, the better you feel
So we have beans at every meal!
Consider this, if the tables were reversed andthe Major had the hammer and the perp had the baked beans, would they prosecute him for possession of deadly beans?
I kept a claw hammer in my truck for many years while in the metro DC area. You just never know when a demolition opportunity may present 🙂

I keep telling you all that a gun is not necessary when there are many, many other means of self-defense available.
I can see the ad campaign now from Bush’s Beans: P.S.: we also stop holdup guys!
Priceless!
Thank you. Be sure you tip the waitress before you leave.
And the world is a more peaceful place………now.
At least in New Orleans.
Social Security just saved some money.
