Man Holds Prowler at Gunpoint
Last Update: 2/16/2004 2:26:04 PM
Riverside in Jacksonville has become one of the most crime-ridden neighborhoods on the First Coast.
Over the weekend, one homeowner decided enough was enough, and after spotting a prowler, he pulled his gun and held the suspect until police arrived.
John Blanton came home Sunday afternoon and found a man with a crowbar laying in his backyard and one of his neighbors holding him at gunpoint.
The neighbor, who didn't want to be identified, said he was tired of people on his street being burglarized. So, when he noticed the suspect prying at the lock of his shed, he grabbed his rifle and was prepared to use it. "Especially since he had the weapon in his hand. If he had come at me, I would have taken the necessary measures."
Blanton's neighbor held the suspect at gunpoint for 20 minutes before police arrived. All along, the neighbor was nervous--not knowing what the man had concealed inside his jacket.
Police arrested 48-year-old Robert White on charges of possessing burglary tools and prowling.
Blanton adds, "We saw on the news how Riverside is the number one area for crime in Jacksonville. I think the reason for that is there just aren't enough police patrolling this area."
