In Texas, a burglar concealed himself in a car and summoned the police when confronted by a homeowner who approached him brandishing a firearm.
The individual, named Christopher Lance Moore, reportedly entered a residence in Springtown, Texas, around 12:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
James Gerow confronted him, aiming his pistol at Mr. Moore and demanding to know his purpose in the house. Mr. Moore soon surrendered his keys, stating he was “unlucky.”
As Mr. Gerow’s wife dialed 911, Mr. Moore fled, with Mr. Gerow pursuing him while keeping his firearm directed at the burglar.
Mr. Gerow trailed the suspect to his truck, where Mr. Moore contacted the police, claiming that “some guy has a gun on me.”
Mr. Gerow secured Mr. Moore’s vehicle by blocking it with his own truck and instructed his 13-year-old son to watch over him with a shotgun.
Subsequently, Mr. Moore was apprehended and charged with burglary.
