Johnson told authorities that someone knocked on his front door before midnight, Al.com reported. Johnson didn’t answer and continued to wait as he heard the person move to the back door and break the lock, Al.com reported.
Johnson told police that he confronted the person, prompting the suspected burglar to fall or jump off the back steps, Al.com reported.
Johnson subdued the man once he was on the ground and tied his hands behind his back, police told Al.com. The man was later identified as 31-year-old Cleveland Jones Gully.
Police said that after restraining Gully’s hands, Johnson placed duct tape over his mouth and tied the man to a tree using rudimentary materials — electrical wire, rope from a clothesline and masking tape.
“He began to tie him to the tree still in the standing up position,” Stringer told WALA, noting that Johnson used “multiple layers of masking tape that he had wrapped around his mouth and all the way around his head.”
With the alleged intruder tied to a tree, Johnson told police, he returned to his neighbor’s house to alert police.

Electrical wire, clothesline rope and masking tape. Three more items a Clintoon regime is going to have to protect Americans from.
He was breaking into an occupied home for purposes of larceny.
I cry no sad tears over such.
He stood his ground.
Yup, his death was ‘bound’ to happen.
Red Green still stands by duct tape for strength and adhesion.
Good.

Hillary now has to be sure this voter’s ballot is cast in November. Never let a dead man’s vote be wasted.

I hope the courts don’t get tied up with this case.
Some lawyer might try to mask the idea that the perp was trying to break in.
This whole situation calls for restraint.
What part of the USA did this occur in?

to alert police — AFTER having a few beers to ‘settle down’, taking a nap and charging the cell phone.
They then had a discussion of what to tell the police.
Excellent move on the part of the gentleman - hard telling what a jury will do...of course dependent on the who, what, why and where...
If this in a modern inner city:
If Johnson be White, perp Black, he be gone
If Johnson be Black, perp White, he will get Mayors Medal for ingenuity.
We can pretty much be rest assured that both are not of the same sex, race or ethnicity...I say that because it made the paper and has reached a ‘national level’.
Seeing as from WashPost the whole story is suspect and it will be because Trump had made a statement(sometime in the last 50 years) about how ‘good’ ‘Duck Tape’ is and the wrapper would never have thought of using it in this manner had Trump not mentioned it.
Alabama.
Thanks. Good ‘ol boys taking care of business.
Of course not. He just prefers robbing people in the neighborhood..it's no bother to anyone. How damn dumb can people be to make such comments?
