Military Vet Arrested; Guns Confiscated: His Crime – Defending his home from Burglar
A Military veteran living in Oregon, 36-year-old Corey Thompson, has been arrested and has had his firearms confiscated after defending his home from an intruder.
Medford, Oregon Police arrested Thompson, after he attempted to stop a wanted felon from breaking into his home by firing a warning shot into the ground. The felon, 40-year-old Jonathon Kinsella, had outstanding warrants that included burglary and assault charges.
The wanted felon was trying to break into Thompson’s home through a back door. Trying to defend his property, Thompson grabbed his AR-15 rifle and warned the criminal that he was armed. He then yelled to him that he was giving him his one and only warning shot; he then fired one warning shot. The bullet did not strike the suspect or anyone else.
“This is the end result. You break into someone’s house, there’s consequences,” Thompson told KDRV-TV. “When I’m dealt with a stressful situation, being a veteran from Iraq and the Afghanistan war, it’s natural. I just jump into combat mode. I told him, ‘I’m going to give you a warning shot’.”
Despite the fact that Thompson was clearly defending his home from a wanted felon, Medford, Oregon Police arrested the military vet and charged him with Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Menacing and Reckless Endangering.
