After dialing 911 several times with no answer, Hokett called her daughter, Deborah Turpin, who lives nearby. Hokett then tried 911 again as the man inside her home screamed. ... "This is Parker County 911," a dispatcher said. "Your phone is dialing 911, is there an emergency?"Will AG, Eric Holder, please pick up the White Courtesy Phone."Someone's broken into my mother's home," Turpin replied. "I'm sitting here with a gun on him, and if he doesn't behave I'm going to kill him. ... We've both got guns on him. He's sitting here crying and bawling."Deputies arrived 13 minutes later and arrested the intruder."I thought the communications officers did a good job," said Capt. Mike Morgan of the Parker County sheriff's office.
I wonder if you can sue an intruder for the cost of getting the brown and yellow stains out of your carpet?
