A resident of Grand Junction, Colo., went to his garage to smoke a cigarette and encountered an unfamiliar man. Upon questioning, the suspect, who was reportedly wearing gloves and carrying a flashlight, claimed that he was looking for a phone.
The Daily Sentinel records that the homeowner held the suspect at gunpoint until police arrived to take him into custody. The district attorney said that the intruder was “lucky” not to have been shot because of his actions.
