“It will be interesting to see how this plays out.”
I think you can safely assume that its not going to turn out well for Mr, Horn.
He did NOT have the rights of a homeowner in this case — it wasn’t his home.
You can argue that he DOES have the right to make a citizen’s arrest, based on general common law principles, but he has to stay carefully within the authority that the police have, otherwise he would be liable for false imprisonment and, here, for much worse.
Ah! This happened in Texas — I saw Pasadena and assumed California. Well, Horn’s chances just improved dramatically!!
