.... Use a Zip-tie and go to Jail....
The New Victim the one who brought that pistol gripped shotgun would probably have a case for false something or other, IOW, do we citizens have the right to put hand cuffs onto our detained non-desired house guest...
yah follow my reasoning... After all it is a Portland crime scene, yes????

Typical meth head. They should have hog tied him. I have cuffs handy, myself
"The suspect struck his head during the tumble and lost consciousness, police said."
He fell down the stairs... "Yes officer that's exactly how it happened.."
The side of his head looks a lot like he got butt stroked by a shotgun.
For your own safety and well-being... do not risk a citizen's arrest.
As philip says, it may become a legal headache. Furthermore, it may precipitate physical force and hence even more legal headaches.
Chances are your home invader has been jailed before. And will be jailed again anyway.
The justice/punitive system is broken. Do not risk your own safety, so a methhead or illegal alien can have a longer rap sheet.
Citizen arrests suck.
Back in the 60's my wife and I stopped late at arts cafe in oc and on the way out some guy came up to us and pointed at another guy standing by a vehicle and said he was going to shoot me. Being young and stupid, I took the gun from him and held him for the police and placed him under citizens arrest.
I then sat at the PD for 4 hours filling out forms and writing out a statement. When I finished I asked when I would need to be in court to testify. Their answer was, we don't know, he bailed out about 2 hrs prior.
I was plain pissed.
I have no clue if he was ever charged even.
Never again. Should have taken matters to task there on the street and gone home.
Have no clue why he did that, except he mistook me for someone else.
CA's are a pain in the azz.
That makes you think twice. Aside from beating the hell out of him and leaving him on the street what other option do you have in that situation? That is a really screwed up system.
I Should have done exactly that.
