Homeowner shoots at alleged intruders

A 24-year-old woman and 20-year-old man were arrested for felony burglary of a building and felony theft of copper after a 78-year-old homeowner reportedly chased them away with his own firearm on Aug. 15.

The homeowner reported to a deputy that he had been awaken by an audible alarm inside his house for his shop in the 36000 block of FM 1774 and observed the woman at his shop door.
