Hero Allegedly Shoots Grown, Undressed Man Found in Little Girl’s Bedroom

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Chalk another one up for private firearm ownership. An alleged home intruder was undressed in a 12-year-old’s bedroom before being driven off by multiple shots from a firearm, residents of the home claim.

Donald Oliver, 38, was in a wheelchair for his court appearance earlier this week, a day after he was shot while allegedly breaking into the home of Tina Burton in Louisville, Kentucky early Sunday morning, according to court documents.

“He got undressed in my daughter’s room,” Burton told local outlet WDRB. “Like, what was your intentions? … You are sick.”

But even with an undressed, grown man in her bedroom, Burton says that her daughter kept it together and did everything right.

“She hid under the cover, turned her light down, turned her volume down on her phone to text me,” Burton said. “When she peeked under the cover to see where he was at, she got up and ran away. She went to the back room. And I think that was really brave and smart of her.” Burton also says that two more of her daughters were at home at the time.

Burton’s boyfriend, Ali Bracey, said that he told Oliver to leave before a fight ensued between the two. Police then say that Burton grabbed a gun and gave it to Bracey who says he fired a total of six shots at the intruder who then ran away.

Oliver was apparently a neighbor that nobody in the home had ever met before, and local law enforcement says that he entered the residence through the kitchen window while wearing only his underwear. They also say they found a bag of heroin where he took his clothes off.

Oliver has been charged with possession of a controlled substance, burglary and assault. His bail is set at $50,000. (For more from the author of “Hero Allegedly Shoots Grown, Undressed Man Found in Little Girl’s Bedroom” please click HERE)

Homeowner Holds Knife-Wielding Intruder at Gunpoint

When Robert Rodriguez and his wife awoke to an intruder in the bedroom of their Austin, Texas, home, he used his own firearm to ward off the suspect until law enforcement arrived.

Rodriguez told CBS Austin that 32-year-old Richard Brent Prieto kicked the door in, and he heard someone talking but thought it was his son. However, after his wife nudged him, he woke up and saw Prieto standing in their room with a knife in his hand.

Prieto reportedly was mumbling strange things and told him that his wife was under the house, that Chuck Norris was waiting for him, and that he was having a hard time. Rodriguez, who is a former sheriff’s deputy, slowly reached for his gun and, with the firearm pointed at Prieto, told him to drop the knife. . .

Rodriguez explained that legally — since the man was in his house — he had the right to protect his family, but he’s glad he didn’t have to pull the trigger. (Read more from “Homeowner Holds Knife-Wielding Intruder at Gunpoint” HERE)

A father in Florida is being credited with thwarting an attempted kidnapping of his 17-year-old daughter, firing shots as four teen suspects tried to break into his garage, police said.

An investigation revealed that the teens believed the father to be wealthy and had hatched a plot to rob his house and kidnap his daughter, according to the sheriff’s office.

Deputies from the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office responded to a possible home-invasion robbery in progress at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday at a home in Baker. The 51-year-old homeowner told authorities his daughter had called him to say that someone tried to block the roads to their home with barrels — an apparent attempt to force her to exit her car and walk . . .

He saw some people trying to force their way into his garage and fired three shots, sending the would-be intruders scurrying into the woods, police said. The homeowner later discovered that some security lights at his home had been unscrewed. (Read more from “Gun-Toting Dad Foils Daughter’s Kidnapping” HERE)
