A neighbor apprehended an 18-year-old man at gunpoint Sunday after police say he attempted to burglarize a Sherwood Drive home.
At 10:09 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 2000 block of Sherwood while investigating an earlier burglary complaint on Ivanhoe Drive 13 minutes earlier, according to Officer Cielo Rodriguez’s report.
Curtis Stanford, 48, told officers he heard a loud noise come from his neighbor’s home while he was in his bedroom. He said he looked out of the window and saw alleged burglar Darrel Watkins running from the backyard in between his residence and the neighbor’s, Rodriguez wrote.
Stanford stated he then grabbed his gun and a flashlight and met Watkins outside where he ordered him to the ground.
Watkins was detained by the neighbor until officers arrived.

Maybe he's getting ready for some time in the clink, where he'll no doubt be told he has a "purty mouth".
Had it not been for the neighbor, Darrel Watkins might have skiddaddled off to freedom and safety.
Yeah, I caught the Lorain reference, but most of us around the country have never heard of it, and don’t know where it is.
Please, no mocking! Obviously this a poor transgender just trying to scrape together money for surgery. Even though I don’t believe it is needed </s>
You know, the folks they're trying to run out of Maine...
I rather like the idea of shoot, shovel, shut-up.
West of Cleveland, off I90, on the lake.
Fixed it for you.
