An ex-military homeowner chased a criminal suspected of multiple infractions from his home early one Monday morning. After discovering the unwanted intruder in his home, the 52-year-old homeowner pulled a pistol from his nightstand and confronted the man, prompting him to flee. The suspect then ran to a neighbor's house and attempted to sexually assault her before she was able to call for help. Police apprehended the intruder a short time later down the road.
