Recently a rash of home break-ins have been occurring in Fayetteville. Friday, June 1, Michael A. Pistner, of Whitechapel Road, in the Rockfish area of Fayetteville had his home broken into around 4:45p.m.
According to Hoke County Sheriff, Hubert Peterkin, the soldier was in his residence when the back door of his house was kicked in. Pistner then fired a handgun at the three intruders, wounding Gregory Paul Lowrie, 21.
Lowrie was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center where he remained in critical condition and has yet to be charged, Peterkin said.
Samuel Arthur Bernard Sweeney, 19, of Cambridge Arms apartments in Fayetteville, is charged with breaking and entering and conspiracy to commit larceny with bail set at $500,000, according Peterkin.
Sweeney was a graduate of Jack Britt High School in Fayetteville.
It is not known if the home had a home security system.
Nice shooting!
Dogs are good, but an alarm system doesn’t require you to pick up its hot steaming crap using a little plastic bag.
At 4:45 PM, too. Perps clearly were intent on evil.
You mustn’t forget that he was “getting his act together.”
Good shooting, Citizen. Civilization thanks you.
I use an entrenching tool and an empty plastic plant bucket, but then I’m primarily picking up from my own fenced back yard. And it’s typically at ambient temperature, not hot and steaming.
I read a suggestion that you place your car keys alongside your bedstand (if you have the kind with the remote unlock, etc.). Hear a noise? Click the remote to fire off the car alarm. Buys you a little more time and might scare off the more skittish types.
Yes, I agree with your statement 100%.
Even the Marine and Army wives at those places are tougher! Really!
I used to install home alarms. I once had a single mom if the alarm was all she needed. I told the truth. I don’t do alarms anymore.
