What it doesn't say is that the two punks were vacationers from up north to the beach. They stole a sailboat and got in a loud argument within earshot of a wildlife officer. He asked for ID and one produced a Glock. Afters hooting the officer they stole his boat and raced toward the town side of the bay and beached it by the Yacht Club in front of a bunch of people with cell phones. One ran east, the other ran west. One ran into a house and when he went upstairs was met by the homeowner with his own Glock and his phone already to 9-1-1 who is recorded ordering the punk down on the floor. He said he was going to shoot him. A second later the cops came through the front door and the first officer up the stairs asked the homeowner to please not shoot the punk because they needed him alive for a proper arrest. I don't know how he other punk got caught but the homeowner is a neighbor of mine. The wildlife has got a couple of holes in him but he will be okay. Homeowner put the gun in his waistband and was never told to put it away from him or turn it over to the police.

They do not know which charges are going to be filed?

Um, how about felony theft, attempted escape, refusing an authorized police officers orders, attempted murder.....just for starters?

Any Park, Ranger, Wildlife, DNR personnel whose title includes the word “Officer”
should be armed.

Good on the homeowner!

‘please don’t shoot the punk because we need him alive for a proper arrest.’

I saw an interview with a Bay County deputy on the local TV.

I wasn’t paying close attention but did hear him say that it was good the homeowner was armed and also that it was good for citizens to be armed.

There are some good cops out there.

Vacationers don’t have any respect for people or property. Just a few minutes ago, a dad drove his boat up to the neighbor’s dock and let his 4 kids run around the yard and go up on top of their boat house, open the gate and jump off half a dozen times before he saw me. Imagine if a kid got hurt and he’d have sued the property owner. Fishermen are always roaming around on our docks, leaving fish guts and pizzing. Un-freakin’ believable.
