At around 4:30 am Sunday morning, deputies were called to a home in the 300 block of Huntington Lane. The homeowner had discovered a man burglarizing a building on his property. The homeowner fired a single shot from a shotgun into the air and ordered the man onto the ground. The burglar instead got into a blue pickup and sped away.
