This time it was the intruder who called 911.

A man who broke into a house in Portland, Oregon, called police -- afraid the homeowner may have a gun.

The suspect, Timothy James Chapek, was in the bathroom taking a shower when the homeowner returned to the house Monday night, Portland police said in a statement.

Accompanied by two German shepherds, the homeowner asked Chapek what he was doing in the house.

Chapek locked himself in the bathroom and made an emergency call, police said. He said he had broken into the house, the owner had come home, and that he was concerned the owner might have a gun.

The homeowner also called the police to report that he had found a man in the house.

Police with dogs took Chapek, 24, into custody "without incident," they said. He was booked for criminal trespass.

They did not say if the homeowner did in fact have a gun.

Under those conditions, I likely wouldn't, but I would kick his ass. Now if someone breaks in at night, that's a different story. Boom boom, out go the lights.

yeah, that's where I was going with my statement as well.

my statement was probably a little too generic for the situation etc.

I thought you were talking about the ex-Chiefs and Saints WR. I was thinking, "Wow, how did I miss Joe shooting someone? First he screws Willie Roaf's wife, then he blows some dude away."

But I looked it up and now I see what you're referencing.

That Quanell X guy is an idiot. I don't see how that Joe Horn case is sad at all, he did the right thing. I don't want to kill anyone in cold blood but if someone is breaking in/intruding on someone elses property they get what they get. You never know what they are going to do.

Simple, you break in my house, you probably won't leave on your own. Im not waiting around to find out what you are doing there. 9mm beats 911 Everytime.

MOhillbilly · 03-08-2011, 10:05 AM

Any of you guys ever been in a situation to possibly shoot a man? The complexity of those situations should boogle your mind. Once you pull that trigger you cant take it back.

That is true, and it is a tough, complex situation, but we should always have a right to protect ourselves, family, ect from intruders. You never know what they are going to do, its a tough situation.

I understand what you're saying. I’m a believer in “better judged by 12 than carried by 6” but MO is talking wisdom here.
Besides, once the guy retreated to the bathroom, locked the door and started pleading for the cops to come save him it’s fairly obvious he’s not much of a threat. In that case you stand guard over the door until the cops arrive and let them handle it from there.

He at least deserved to be pistol whipped.....break into my house and expect pain unless your a little kid. No excuse otherwise. A grown person should expect to be either shot or at least beaten to a pulp for breaking into someone's house.

His first hint that he shouldn't have been there was the fact that he had to break in....after that he's lost all rights in my house.
