Three suspects arrested in Sutter County after an attempted home burglary ran into the worst of luck - a homeowner with experience fighting off intruders.
Two women and a man, all Sacramento residents, broke into an isolated house at about 2 p.m. Monday in the 3900 block of O’Banion Road west of Yuba City, according to Sheriff J. Paul Parker. The owner, David Massey, armed himself with a handgun and discovered one woman in his kitchen while the other woman and the man fled out the back door, Parker said.
The suspects got into a Ford Explorer parked on the circular driveway outside and drove it toward Massey, but he fired six shots toward the vehicle just before it rolled onto its side, the 63-year-old homeowner recalled Monday night.
“They drove right across the center of the (driveway) circle towards me, and I yelled at them to stop and fired five rounds into the radiator to make them stop,” said Massey. “The car was not three feet from me when it went by; they almost took me out.
“I was in fear of my life. They wouldn’t stop, so I shot.”
The passengers abandoned the Ford and ran through a flooded prune orchard, but deputies arrested them within a mile of the house. Both women were treated at Rideout Memorial Hospital from injuries sustained in the acc dent, according to Parker.
The sheriff’s department identified the detained women as 31-year-old Tiffany Abila and 27-year-old Angelina Walters, and the male suspect as 26-year-old Marcus Campbell. Parker said authorities likely would pursue burglary charges against the three and said others may be pending.

Repeat and repeat and repeat...
It may have been better to put those first five rounds through the windshield and into the driver.... but a good result none the less.
I chanted that once to a scumbag in Reno, with my hand on the trigger. He was dressed in leather and a spiked necklace.
He ran. Hehe.
What was Harry Reid doing in Reno ?
