ANGIER – A western Johnston County resident held a 41 year-old man at gunpoint until Johnston County deputies could arrive. It all started May 15th around 10:20pm in the 4400 block of Zack’s Mill Road.
An alert neighbor spotted a stranger in the yard of a nearby home. They knew the homeowner was not at his residence.
The concerned citizen confronted the suspicious person and reportedly held him at gunpoint in the yard until deputies arrived. Officers determined the stranger, Joshua Kyle Houchins, age 41, of Tree Farm Lane, Angier had allegedly tried to break into a building on the property before he was spotted by the neighbor.
Houchins was charged with misdemeanor attempted breaking or entering. He was later released on a $1,000 secured bond.
This is how we handle criminals in Joco. Bravo, neighbor!
We need more people like this!
GOOD!!! That’s what we need.
Why only 1000 bond that’s ridiculously low it seems to me
Probably not really legal, LOL but I want to give this man an award! Way to handle business
Isn’t this exactly what happened in Georgia? How does anyone have the right to point a gun, at another person, if it’s not to protect their own life?
Agree 100%
Because they committed a crime on property that isn’t theirs…
To think you need that explained is a problem.
