“I’m in bed sleeping, I get up, I retrieve my sidearm, I chase him out the front door. I’ve got him pinned on the ground. It’s 4:55 in the morning and I don’t have a stitch of clothing on. I’m basically telling him at this point, ‘Stay on the ground, don’t move, because if you do move, I will shoot you.’”
When the times comes to protect your house, you do what you got to do. This is what happend to Eric Martin, a Utah homeowner who woke up to an intruder in his house this past Thursday. The suspect, Clinton Keller, had made his way through various rooms in the home before being noticed. As his girlfriend called 911 and his 8 year old son lay asleep, Martin who was naked only holding his sidearm chased the burglar out on to his front lawn. The suspect ended up tripping over his duffle bag, where Martin held him at gunpoint until police arrived.
“I said, ‘Do you know what I have pointed at you?’ He said, ‘No,’ and I said, ‘Do you want to know?’ and he of course doesn’t respond to that one, so I tell him, ‘Let me explain, I’ve got a .9mm pointed at you with high-velocity hollow points in the chamber.’
The police lauded Eric Martin for his actions in handeling the situation. The suspect Clinton Keller was booked on residential burglary and theft.
“Imagine five police cars and seven officers rolling up to a scene with a naked man holding a weapon pointing at someone, and holding him down on the ground,” Martin said. “The police got a kick out of that.”
TTIUWP!!
Burgar: "Dear God, please tell me it's your pistol!"
Obviously, it's a matter of personal opinion, and people can have different opinions.
Good accounting!!! :)
LOL!And what was the nekkid guy with he gun doing on the burgler's front lawn, anyway?

Back in the mid-90s I was taking public transportation to work, and every day a woman would board with a toddler.
Whenever the toddler would get out of his seat and start to wander off she would call to him, ”Clinton, come back and sit down.”
Every day I thought to myself, “Geez lady. Why didn't you just name him ‘scumbag’?”
Always wanted to say it aloud. Never did though.
LOL! There is a MPFC reference for nearly every situation in life.
TTIJFWP!!
The cops arriving at the scene saw Mark, naked as a jaybird, pointing his pistol at the perp on the ground. It was obvious to the cops Mark didn't have any concealed weapons. The cops corralled the suspect, Mark changed into some clothes to give a statement, and the neighbors got a good show. It turned out the burglar was responsible for quite a few home invasions. No word as to what the burglar's buddies in jail thought of him being apprehended by a guy in the nude with a pistol.
the police were “handeling” the situation? Were they playing some Handel while they were handling the situation?
Great story. One for the great-grandkids.
Thank you for sharing.
I have a sleeping naked story as well, but not so dramatic.
London gangster Michael Caine is sleeping naked with a girlfriend, he grabs a double barreled shotgun from under the bed, and chases two rival gangsters out the front door and onto the sidewalk in his birthday suit.
Ever since, I have slept in my jockey shorts and a tee shirt.
At least a warm pair of socks.
I don’t think he had cold feet!
PS: Royal Sonesta NOLA ... not inexpensive but definitely the finest hotel in the Quarter.
