Attempted burglar hides in bushes after warning shot

Deputies arrested an attempted burglar who was scared off by a homeowner who fired a shot in the air on New Year's Day.

An elderly couple called police when the man tried to kick their door in at 4:15 a.m. on the 9100 block of Nelson Road.

After telling the suspect to go away several times, the man of the house fired a warning shot over the suspect's head. The homeowner told police he feared for his and his wife's safety.

When deputies arrived they found 22-year-old Michael Gadbois hiding in some bushes. He was arrested on charges of attempted burglary.
