Isaiah and his father, Adison, say they found a man in their garage stealing their belongings, so they took matters into their own hands.
“We were getting the grill and were going to put it inside my dad's truck and we saw someone in my garage,” explained Isaiah. Adison added, “We stopped him and asked what he was doing, he apologized and handed me my gloves and cell phone and I said, what else do you have?”
They say that's when the man took off. Isaiah and Adison chased him down and were able to tackle him to the ground, until police arrived.
Fresno Police Sgt. Brian Rodgers said, “It turns out the homeowner was an off- duty probation officer who had handcuffs, so they were able to handcuff the burglar and hold him.”
The probation officer and his son say they are not surprised this happened to them. They say burglaries happen in their area all the time. But the accused thief is more than shocked. He denies ever burglarizing their home. He explained, “I was walking down the street and that big guy attacked me.”
The probation officer, said another deputy was actually jogging on the street when all the commotion was happening. That deputy also stopped to help out.
The man was arrested and taken to the Fresno County Jail on burglary charges.
