Prowlers trigger a firm response from Choctaw homeowners
Two men accused in a Thursday night burglary were stopped by two homeowners with guns, sheriff’s officials said.
Jason Dean Cornett, 30, and Joshua Starkey, 28, were arrested after a homeowner near NE 63 and Choctaw Road found two men rifling through his garage. The homeowner confronted one man and went back into the house to get a gun, but the burglar was gone when he returned, sheriff’s spokesman Mark Myers said.
A deputy found Cornett under a nearby vehicle and arrested him, Myers said.
Starkey escaped from the first homeowner and the deputies, but was arrested later after a homeowner near McLoud shot him in the shoulder with a shotgun and held him at bay until Lincoln County sheriff’s officers arrived, Myers said.
