A 78-year-old Georgia woman grabbed her gun and chased three would-be burglars from her home last week.
Police say Sabra Elaine Stiehl was about to take a nap on Friday when she heard a noise. She grabbed her Browning high power pistol, loaded it, opened her bedroom door, and found two men in her hallway. The men were stealing furs and tools from Stiehl, but when they saw the gun, they ran. They got into a waiting Ford Explorer and sped off.
Neighbors got a description of the getaway car and deputies pulled them over. Thomas Linder, 44, was charged with burglary and weapons possession by a felon. John O’Neal, 32, was also charged with burglary, as was the driver, 49-year-old Ann Dearman.
“I don’t know why they selected that house, but they picked the wrong one,” Colonel James Yarbrough from the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office said.
Police say they found two guns, one stolen from another state, as well as power tools and furs in the getaway car.
The trio are in custody at the Coweta County Jail, about 40 miles southwest of Atlanta.
