Friday night my oldest son spent the night at one of his friends house.
His friend and wife went to bed and James, my son, stayed up and played video games with their two children, son 11, daughter 9. The son and James went to bed. The little girl continued to play and fell asleep on the sofa.
James got up a little after midnight to get a drink of water.
When he did there was an intruder in the house. The intruder ran. James beat on his friend's bedroom wall and said there is someone in the house. James then took off after the intruder who went out the door. The wife called 911, and her husband, in his underwear, went after the intruder as well.
My son tackled the guy, by then the husband got there. They took the intruder back to the van in the frontyard waiting for the cops to arrive. The husband knows this man, he lives on his very sames street. He asked him "Why" and all the guy could say was " I wanted to have a look around. I have been in there before." The cops were there 4:33 minutes from the time the 911 call went through.
My son told the cops that when he tackled the guy a bunch of papers came out from his coat. The cops went to where James tackled the guy and found four pairs of the little girls panties.
There is a bit more to the story.
But the man is taken into custody without bond or bail, whatever they call it. They searched his house ( the man is married with a son) and found 150 pairs of panties in the house.
The little nine year old girl had panties missing from her dirty clothes hamper right after Thanksgiving, but it was just weird, they were missing. The mother of the little girl was telling me this.
My son and the couple went to every house in the neighborhood to tell what had happened. Two doors down from this house is where my nephew's (11) father lives with his new wife and 16 year old daughter. They said that probably explains the stack of blocks underneath her bedroom window. They were stacked there once, removed and restacked. They thought it was teenage boys trying to get in. Poor girl trying to get out of that.
Well, there is more. The couple just received two foster girls two weeks ago age 5 and 7. The couple that are friends with my son reported it to DHS, which cannot do anything until tomorrow, which they(DHS) felt the girls were not in danger as the man is in jail.
And, the couple(intruder and his wife) teaches childrens bible classes at Mount Carmel Baptist Church in our town.
The wife of the intruder is in shock, she told the cops he takes walks at midnight every night, she does not know where he goes, but that he smokes, and cannot smoke in the house.
The house where my son stays has dogs that usually bark and no one heard the dogs bark. Also, this is out in the country and they did not have their doors locked. Which is not unusual for people that live in the country.
The man's computer has been confiscated and won't be looked at until tomorrow.
My son said if he had known they were panties and not papers/documents he would have beat the shit out of him. The cop said, if you had killed him, it would have saved on alot of paperwork.
