Cache County man arrested for lewdness after being held at gunpoint by homeowner
Firing a warning shot into the air does not sound like the best idea, but nonetheless, it worked for this man.PROVIDENCE, Utah (ABC 4 News)
A Providence man made a citizen's arrest, holding a lewdness suspect at gunpoint until sheriff's deputies arrived.
Ken Sim said his neighbor had reported problems with a prowler, so when he heard noises in his own backyard he got his gun and flipped on the light.
He says 35-year old Jason Walt Benson ran, but Sim caught up with him on the side of his house where he pointed his gun at him and ordered him to the ground.
Sim says when Benson got up and moved toward him, Sim fired a warning shot into the air which sent Benson back to the ground until officers arrived.
Detectives found an ear and cheek print on one of sim's windows. Benson was arrested and charged with lewdness, a class-B misdemeanor.
