A Tennessee homeowner held two escaped inmates wanted in the killing of two prison guards at gunpoint Thursday until authorities arrived and made the arrests.
Tennessee Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Bill Miller said late Thursday that the homeowner caught Donnie Rowe and Ricky Dubose trying to steal his vehicle.
Miller says the escaped Georgia inmates had crashed a car while being chased by law enforcement and fled on foot into woods along Interstate 24 near the rural community of Christiana.
Miller says something alerted the homeowner that people were outside his home and he saw the men trying to steal his vehicle. The trooper says the homeowner held the two at gunpoint with a neighbor he called until the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department could get there to arrest them.
Rowe and Dubose are accused of killing two guards on a prison transfer bus early Tuesday. Authorities had offered a $130,000 reward for information leading to their arrests.

Well done! Scary dudes.
ANYONE who has Tattoos like this is up to NO GOOD!!
A perfect example of a gun owner doing something positive. He should collect the reward money on top of all that.
That TN hero deserves a medal of honor as these two clowns were ruthless killers.
Well done sir! Wonder what his FReeper handle is?!
Kinda surprised by this. I figured they’d die in a shootout with police.
Bonus you earned it and probably save tax payers way more than this.
Yes, I hope he gets the reward, maybe share a bit with the neighbor.
How will the "authorities" renege on the $130,000 reward after the information, "come get your scum bags, they are spread eagle in my driveway," was provided?
too bad he didnt finish them off... would have saved the world two worthless people.
Too bad the MSM will NEVER let the rest of the world see the story.
"Nothing to see here.. Move along..."
If we get rid of guns, the hero homeowner probably would have been able to hold these escaped cons at bay with a rape whistle.
Truth, Beauty, Goodness, Godliness,
THE AMERICAN WAY!
This is why ....remove our guns? HELL NO!! We will never surrender our guns!!!! That dude probably saved a few future lives!! WELL DONE SIR!!!
We need to go back to the old “Wanted: Dead or Alive” posters.
That way, he could have wasted em, still collect the reward, done society a HUGE favor, and saved a whole bunch of tax dollars. All with just a couple of cheap bullets.
I don't see how they can deny him. He made a phone call...which is a transfer of information...and this led directly to their arrest. He should split it with his neighbor and throw one hell of a party.
Great story.
In Texas, governor’s warrants are *still* ‘Wanted: Dead Or Alive” as I recall. One was issues as recently as 2000-2001 in the case of the Texas Seven: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Seven
I think there wasn’t anything more than a rather obscure sentence acknowledging the real nature of the capture of these scum in a Yahoo story on this. Inconvenient facts are obscured by the MSM.
He may have saved his own as well!
