A video showing a Fairfield homeowner fighting off a home invader may cause “concern” as it circulates on social media, police said Saturday.
The video depicts a resident of the 1700 block of Burbank Court using a shovel to battle the intruder on Tuesday before police arrived.
Police praised “the actions of the homeowner, who worked to protect his family while officers were responding to the scene.”
A man later identified as 30-year-old Jason Nichols attempted to break into the residence occupied by a woman and child by kicking the front door, police said. When that failed, he gained entry through a sliding glass door.
“The homeowner’s husband, who was away at the time, observed the suspect through a home security camera and immediately returned to the residence,” police said.
As the suspect entered the home, the homeowner “armed himself with a shovel and confronted Nichols,” police said. “A physical altercation ensued, during which both the homeowner and Nichols sustained head injuries.”

was it them Yogi ?
It’s our loss. Get it?
Wrong thread-sorry.
Before I can see the video from the above link, I first have to consent going through a ‘Turbo Connector’.
I’ll pass. I wanted to see a pic of the Burglar.
Shut up.
No. Its halfway between Milhouse Mussolini Van Houten and Ben Shapiro.
When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
I wanted to see the shovel part, but the video is just a guy in a superhero cape acting weird.
Bizarre.
Harry Dresden is a character in an ‘urban fantasy’ series that my husband has enjoyed reading.
The man in the video is on drugs or insane.
Crazy. At first, he seemed to be a lunatic who was angry at a girl.
But, it turns out, he believed he was saving a girl...?
This video shows the inside and the homeowner with the shovel:

Homeowner handled everything very well. Kudos to him.
I wonder if he lost his sense of reality to an RPG.
Silly homeowner....
The shovel is for AFTER....
(If you get my drift.)
That was very strange. Once the homeowner asked are you military? And said I know what you’re going through, the intruder said yes and thank you for asking sir, and then proceeded to comply.
PTSD which the homeowner recognized?
I’ve watched what I believe is the full video and the shovel to the head part occurs off-camera.
That was one of the strangest home “invasions” I’ve every watched.
I know that series well; have listened to almost all of it on audiobook (drive for a living so normal reading not an option for me).
