Exercising the Right

Caught in the Act

TribLive.com reported out of Pittsburgh on September 16 about an attempted break-in that was thwarted by an armed homeowner. A resident called police to report that an intruder tried breaking in to the man’s home through a locked first-floor window. The homeowner was home at the time and heard the sounds of the would-be burglar attempting to open the window. The homeowner dialed 911 while simultaneously retrieving his firearm. He then confronted the criminal. The homeowner fired at the suspect, who immediately fled the scene.

Police soon arrived and found 37-year-old Daniel Carmen Dandries in a vehicle that was parked near the scene of the attempted break-in. Police detained Dandries, and the homeowner identified him as the suspect who tried breaking in to his house moments earlier. Police arrested Dandries, and after searching him, authorities say they found him in possession of an item that was reported missing from the house the week before. Detectives investigated and say they have palm prints that match Dandries’ from the window where the attempted break-in occurred. Dandries is currently being charged with attempted burglary, burglary, and receiving stolen property.
