BEAUMONT, TEXAS — A recent development has emerged regarding an incident in late spring where a Beaumont homeowner was forced to defend his property from an alleged intruder. According to court records, in early June, a 44-year-old male was indicted on burglary charges by a Jefferson County Grand Jury.
On the night of May 19, a 77-year-old woman noticed the individual trying to break into her house located on the 5300 block of Wildwood Drive, utilizing a metal chair to smash the glass patio door. Upon witnessing this, she alerted her 80-year-old husband who confronted the intruder, urging him to stop and vacate the premises. Ignoring the warning, the alleged burglar proceeded to break in, prompting the elderly homeowner to shoot him, fearing for both his and his spouse's safety. Even after being shot, the intruder continued to enter the house, forcing the couple to exit their residence.
Upon their arrival, police encountered the distressed homeowners outside. Inside, they discovered the intruder, now identified as a 43-year-old local resident, suffering from a gunshot wound that was deemed non-life-threatening, hidden behind the bathroom door. A preliminary investigation unearthed signs of forced entry and a blood trail leading to the bathroom. Police disclosed that the injured man was earlier reported missing by his mother and resided just a block away from the scene of the incident.
A previous statement from Beaumont police highlighted an officer's key role in providing crucial first aid to the suspect, potentially saving his life. Following his hospital treatment, the suspect was incarcerated on May 22, as per the recent updates from the Jefferson County jail inmate roster.

Bravo he wants to taste Lead
Homeowner needs to get to the range to perfect his aim.
Wonder how long it will take for the left to charge these victims with the shooting & let the thief/burglar/no good out on ‘no bail’!! It is really sad what our legal system has come to!!
I once watched an interview on a now defunct tv series, I can’t recall really recall if it was a ‘series’ per say or a ‘special report’ but it included interviews with prisoners. What stood out were two answers prisoners gave. Both answers scared & alerted me as well as offering some hope. One question asked was “Do you worry about being stopped and finding a weapon on you by police?” His reply was ” I never carry a weapon when I’m gonna break into a home. The weapons are already there. I just walk to the kitchen and all the big knives are waiting for me” That scared me then & to this very day. When asked “Don’t you worry about the police when breaking into homes?” “I worry more about a home owner with a gun. The police won’t shoot you but a scared home owner with a gun will.”
