Michigan Self-Defense: Armed Michigan woman stops burglars amid rash of home invasions :: 03/14/2016
MOUNT FOREST TOWNSHIP, MI — Two burglars operating in northern Bay County were stopped mid-heist by an armed woman, police say.
The morning of Wednesday, March 9, Bay County sheriff's deputies responded to a home invasion complaint on West Neuman Road in rural Mount Forest Township. The female resident told police two men came to her house and rang her doorbell, but she did not answer, according to Undersheriff Troy Cunningham.
The men then went to her screened porch, entered that, then kicked in her house's door, Cunningham said. Upon entering, the intruders were met by the resident brandishing a pistol toward them, Cunningham said.
The woman did not fire. The men fled the house and drove away in an unknown vehicle.
Two other home invasions in the area were reported within a few days of this incident, the undersheriff added.
The woman told deputies the intruders appeared to be in their late teens or early 20s.
Deputies and Michigan State Police troopers are investigating.
"We're encouraging people to stay vigilant up that way," Cunningham said. "Call 911 if you see anything that looks suspicious."
