Marysville police commend homeowner for proper use of a firearm
A Marysville man came face to face with a burglar and drew his weapon. Both he and police say it was the right decision and may have prevented any further problems during the confrontation. It was a confrontation that was also caught on surveillance cameras.
Joe Hemrich says he was awake just before midnight Monday when he heard a noise outside. Not knowing what it was, he went to investigate and found a man in his driveway under his carport. Several shelves and drawers he kept in the area appeared to be ransacked, and the man who turned toward him was brandishing what looked like a baton or stick.
Hemrich says he drew his weapon and ordered the man back.
