Burglar calls 911 to save himself from gun-wielding homeowner

A suspected burglar called 911 after the owner of the home he broke into caught and held him at gunpoint.

The suspect, Christopher Moore, placed the emergency call in Springtown, Texas, during the botched burglary attempt early Tuesday after James Gerow, the homeowner, and Gerow's son pointed guns at him as he sat in his pickup truck parked in the driveway.

"I'm out in the country somewhere," Moore told the 911 operator during the 10-minute call. "Some guy's got a gun on me."

Gerow's wife, Lindy, placed a concurrent call to 911 that confirmed Moore's account.

"You better come quick," she said, "or my husband's going to shoot him."

I have to read what I wrote again, I am in a rush though about to go out, but I am pretty sure I did not mention a mugging for the guy who had to pay.

The one the cops forced to pay was the cabbie who drove someone to the Bronx, and the customer he drove tried to run without paying the fare which was $30. So the cabbie ran after him and tackled him and beat him up and held him till the cops arrived. And when they did, they made the cabbie pay the guy who tried to run $100 because they said he assaulted him.

Just dumbass judge. I told him “So, what you’re telling me is I should have shot them” He said no, and I said that’s what I’m hearing.
