Indiana Man Holds Burglar At Gunpoint Until Police Arrive

An Indiana man held a burglar at gunpoint inside his home until police arrived last Friday.

According to the South Bend Tribune, a 26-year-old homeless man was taking a commuter train from Michigan City to South Bend when he got kicked off at the Hudson Lake station after he was unable to pay the required train fare.

He reportedly wandered through town until he came across a home located in the 8400 block of East 700 North. The unidentified suspect broke a window to gain entry, snatched up a couple of firearms, as well as clothing and food, and placed all of the stolen items into a duffel bag before allegedly taking a nap.

26-year-old truck driver Kody Marvel discovered the intruder inside his home. Luckily, he happened to be carrying a concealed handgun. He drew his weapon, disarmed the suspect and ordered him the lay on the concrete outside his home while he waited for police to arrive.

The suspect was arrested and now faces a level 4 felony burglary charge.

”I’m just glad I had my gun on me,” Marvel told the South Bend Tribune.
