The homeowner called his neighbor, Shandra Vestal. She told KRQE that she and her husband grabbed two pistols from their garage and went to confront the intruder with the homeowner. The intruder was contained at gunpoint and was ordered to his knees, where the trio secured the intruder's arms and legs with duct tape. Once secured, they carried him out to the front yard to wait for police.
The intruder, Mark Thompson, was arrested on burglary charges. Thompson allegedly told police that he wasn't trying to steal anything from the house, and that he just wanted to be friends, Vestal told KRQE.
