A homeowner in Texas stood his ground Wednesday and opened fire on a naked man who broke into his house and attempted to steal his cat, authorities said.
The incident occurred around 5:30 a.m. when the homeowner called officials to report that he had been awoken to find a naked man in his home, according to a report. The intruder was described as a white man possibly in his twenties.
He told officials that he had shot at the suspect after the intruder tried to take his cat and that the bullet had grazed his arm.
The intruder fled but was eventually caught by a deputy with the Newton County Sheriff's Office. Officials had the suspect transported to a local hospital, which he has since been released from and is currently awaiting arraignment at Newton County Jail.
