COKATO — Deputies arrested three men in relation to a home invasion and burglary Tuesday in Cokato.
A resident reported the home invasion at 5:49 a.m. Tuesday on 60th Street Southwest in Victor Township. A resident reported that he woke and heard someone inside his home, Sheriff Gary Miller said.
Cokato is a small town about an hour west of the metro area.
The homeowner chased a man down the flight of stairs into his yard, firing shots at the suspect, Miller said. The suspect got into a Chevrolet Tahoe and fled the area.
This is NOT the legal advice I would give in a situation like this, but it is certainly understandable.
The homeowner went back into his home and found a second suspect had fled out the window, Miller said.
If I watched my victim shooting at my partner before my partner fled in the getaway vehicle, I would run away, too.
Later that day, police found a Tahoe in the Cokato Elementary parking lot. There was a bullet hole in the vehicle.
This is one lucky thug. If the homeowner was a better shot, he wouldn't have had an opportunity to get arrested and confess his crimes.
Deputies found a majority of the items stolen during the home invasion, Miller said. Posusta, 24, and Jeremy Fuller, 18, of Coon Rapids were arrested. Both face charges relating to the home invasion.
3 crooks, 3 arrests. The homeowner wasn't injured. That's a good ending to a home invasion. Who knows what would have happened if the thugs would have found him unarmed?
