Police said a homeowner held a gun on two men he found burglarizing his house until officers arrived and took them into custody.
Arrested were David Shane Bennett, 36, of 1909 N. Highway 341, Rossville, and Terry Lewis Stone, 39.
In the incident Sunday night at 9051 Wooten Road, Raymond and Barbara Ewing said they arrived home to find a gold Chevrolet Blazer backed up in their front yard. Their front door was open and an air conditioner was missing from a bedroom window.
Mr. Ewing said he entered the front door and found two white males trying to leave out of the back door. He yelled that he had a gun and for them to get down on their knees. They complied.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Ewing called 911.
She later said she recognized Stone as a friend of her son.
The couple said the pair tried to steal a $300 laptop computer, a $600 laptop computer and a $360 electric drill.
There was over $400 in damage to doors at the residence.
Police found in the vehicle large bolt cutters, a mask, walkie talkies, two pry bars, a screwdriver kit, a Tennessee tag with a magnet on the back, and a black backpack containing muliple bags and black rubber gloves. They were the same type of gloves that Stone was wearing.
