Homeowner shoots at would-be burglars
By Keri Thornton
Two men escaped injury after a homeowner shot at them during a break-in.On April 24, Cherokee County Sheriff’s Deputy James Carver and Sheriff Jason Chennault were dispatched to the Pumpkin Hollow area for a burglary in progress.
The caller said two men tried entering his home by breaking a window. The man said the intruders broke into the back door of the residence.
The homeowner was armed with a shotgun and confronted the suspects. The homeowner fired the gun at the men and they fled.
“Upon arrival at the scene, Deputy Carver and Sheriff Chennault located the suspects’ vehicle parked in the yard of the residence. The vehicle was loaded with items that had been stolen from outbuildings on the property,” the CCSO report said. “Deputy Carver and Sheriff Chennault found a foot trail in the wet grass leading away from the residence. Deputy Austin Cluck and his K-9 partner, Lucas, were called to the scene; Lucas was able to track the suspects’ trail to a dirt road, where it appeared the suspects met a vehicle.”
Chennault, along with deputies, searched the Pumpkin Hollow area and found one of the men who matched the homeowner’s description.
James Levesque admitted he had a role in the burglary, and the vehicle found at the scene was registered to him.
Carver determined the other man involved in the crime was Chase Baker.

Three of a kind, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes, with an Ace high. Not a bad way to start the work week.

Dedman Lane….appropriate.
Pumpkin Hollow….even more so.
I’m sure they were just on their way to choir practice and got misled somewhere along the way?
How long has it been since we had a FGS Trifecta?
Oh how I miss the good old days!!
It’s a crap shoot, WW. We can go months without one. Then, a while ago when you were recovering, we had Trifectas three days in a row. Their rarity and unpredictability makes them unique, so be patient. There’s always tomorrow…
Don’t worry, I will always be faithful in searching out victims!
*smile*
Searching out……or “making”…………victims?
(inquiring minds, and all that)
Another very decent score FIRST thing of the work week AND another pistol review that demonstrates, AGAIN, the the designs of the Saintly John Moses Browning (Howitzer be his name) are FIRST in the hearts of pistoleers everywhere. From the review article, it’s a hell of a note when you buy an 1800 USD piece for 550 and then have to dump ANOTHER nearly $300 in it to make it right. Sorry H&K, but….There can be only one.
Hey Willy, the trifectas we were having while you were skating by on sick call were all dedicated to your happy ass. Haven’t you heard? No one is dying of anything but the Chinesecommunist Originated Virus Infecting Disease of 2019 (COVID19). Digging real deep into the news media everywhere, and tho sh^tbaggery is still happening, it’s just not being published.
Up until the last few years, if you wanted a 1911 you got a gun which was quite servicable but was very plain-jane. To make it what we call ‘right’ you needed to change up to better sights at minimum, and if you really wanted to do serious work you were looking at flaring the mag well, lowering the ejection port, fitting the slide to the frame better, custom fitting a better link and barrel bushing, installing a better trigger with an overtravel stop, throating and polishing the feed ramp…whole books were written on the subject. Gunsmiths like Jim Clark made a very handsome living working on ‘perfect’ 1911s… and improving them.
Correct. JMB designed the 1911 as a no-frills combat pistol, and IMHO the best combat pistol ever made. But the genius of his design allows it to be tailored to the individual and ‘upgraded’ for everything from combat to competition to everyday carry, as well as made in a variety of calibers.
Not sure if you all covered this one over the last week or so. https://youtu.be/AjWxoHK-H5E
Thanks Lars. This bit of buffoonery was enjoyed on 20 APR. Wounded Lad has doubtless ratted out running Lad 1 and 2 to the SA, as part of a plea bargain.
Those Jehovah’s Witnesses down in Florida are pretty aggressive.
