Stacy Wattenbarger was working on his truck when he saw a man break in the back window of a neighbor's Decatur, Tenn., home. He called the sheriff's department and, along with two other neighbors, cornered the burglar coming out of the house with valuables and held the man at gunpoint until authorities arrived. A suspect was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle and third degree burglary. Police commended the neighbors for their quick action. (Post-Athenian; Athens, Tenn.)
