Dothan, Alabama

From the August 19, 2005 Dothan Eagle:
Two juveniles and an 18-year-old were arrested after a man found them in his Balfour Drive home and held them at gunpoint until police arrived.

Tommy Gilbert, 18, was arrested Thursday night and charged with third-degree burglary and second-degree possession of marijuana.

The juveniles were also charged.

According to Dothan Police Capt. Nick Monday, the three teens kicked in the door of the residence and entered the home in order to smoke drugs.

The home was being remodeled at the time and according to the owner, Sammy Walker, it had been broken in to before.

Monday said Walker went to check on the home Thursday night when he noticed the door had been forced open.

"When he went inside he smelled marijuana smoke and found them," Monday said.

Walker was armed with a shotgun and held the three until police arrived.
