Homeowner Foils Robbery At His Own Home

RIVERSIDE, Ohio -- A man foils a burglary at his own home with a shotgun!
The robbery attempt happened Saturday morning on Tulip Lane in Riverside.
Neighbors say the crook, was in the area Friday -- shoveling snow for money -- with some other men.
Chuck Stump, the homeowner, says he planned on going rabbit hunting Saturday.
"I was at a friend's house and a neighbor called and I was walking out the door with a shot gun, ready to go hunting. So I came over here and basically stopped him red handed."
A Riverside Police Officer said they found the suspect laying in the entryway door on his stomach and that the homeowner was able to keep him at bay until they arrived on scene
Police have not released the name of the man arrested -- but he'll likely face a judge Monday.
It's still not clear if anyone else was involved in the break-in.
Neighbors hope Chuck Stump is head of security for the neighborhood.
