LEBANON, Indiana -- Two grandparents went into defensive mode when a man tried to kidnap their 6-year-old granddaughter in their own home.

Police say the man broke into an apartment in Indiana and claimed their granddaughter was actually his daughter.

Benjamin Dillon, 37, was arrested by officers, but not before the girl's grandparents could get their hands on him.

A mugshot of Dillon shows multiple bruises and scrapes on his face.

Police said the girl and her grandmother were sleeping in the back bedroom when Dillion broke into their apartment.

The woman who lives at the home called police as her husband tried to get the man out of the apartment. When police showed up, they say Dillion threatened officers and tried to fight them.

Lebanon police say Dillion faces multiple charges, including counts of burglary, intimidation and resisting law enforcement.

Looks like Grandpa approached that task with some enthusiasm.

If someone broke into my house and tried to grab my granddaughter the police would remove his corpse with six holes in his chest.

Too bad grandpa was not allowed to finish the job, and do everyone a favor.

The idiot should have knocked, explained who he was and what he thought and asked if he could meet his daughter.

Offered to take a paternal test.

To be a responsible man who has discovered he may have a child.

Now even if he is the dad he has shot himself in the foot already.

Ha ha.

That oughtta learn ya!

It ain’t pretty, but THIS is what happens, and what you can expect a whole lot more of, when Law Enforcement is told to stand down by “liberal” politicians, goofy rulings by the judiciary etc. Didn’t say I liked it, history is clear on this.

Sooner or later the pendulum always starts swingin’ the other way. Might not seem like it these days, but it will. When it does, watch out.

If you are in my house without my permission, I will call 911 ..... for the clean up.

911: what is your emergency
Me: There is this man bleeding on my carpet, I need someone to come and get him out of my house.
911: What are his injuries
Me: About 12 gun shot wounds. It is hard to tell how many times I hit him.

The left has redefined mentally ill as anyone who voted for Trump. Everyone else is just fine.

Thank the ACLU, and frankly Government refusing to properly fund mental health (YES, the GOP DESERVES BLAME FOR THIS BIG TIME, JUST AS MUCH AS THE ACLU/LEFT WING).

America’s Mental Health Policy is a flat out DISGRACE...

That would entail locking up all homosexuals, trannies and most liberals.

The department of corrections in Cal is the largest mental health system in the world. The second is homeless people in California. We closed the hospitals and here we have it.

Nice joke, but in real life NEVER admit to having shot someone on a recorded 911 call.

Simply say “There is a man with gunshot injuries. Please send police and ambulance”. Then SHUT UP until you talk to your lawyer, regardless of if this seems a totally justified shooting.
