There’s a video on TikTok from the inside of the home, he was able to break in and the owner came running home and confronted the guy with a snow shovel, I don’t have TikTok otherwise I’d post it but it’s several minutes long ….and includes when the cops showed up to arrest the guy … which was actually a pretty peaceful event

Dude was clearly schizophrenic….Mental illness is very real.

quote:

The case has drawn attention after footage from the owner's home security system circulated widely on social media, showing the suspect behaving erratically and claiming to be a fictional character.

Who is Jason Nichols?

The incident gained traction online after footage of the suspect identifying himself as “Harry Dresden,” a fictional wizard detective from The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, made rounds on the internet.

In the books, Dresden wears a long coat. Similarly, the suspect appears in the ring camera footage wearing a long black coat.
The suspect was later identified as 30-year-old Thomas Nichols.
Nichols is currently booked and in custody at Solano County jail.
According to the jail records, Nichols has been charged with first-degree burglary, vandalism, terrorizing, and assault with a deadly weapon causing great bodily injury.

The building was on fire and it wasn’t my fault, your honor.

Was the homeowner even there? Can't you respond to the doorbell on your phone from anywhere? It just seemed the guy wasn't super responsive at some point, was probably on the phone.

This is why you have to mentally prepare and know the laws of your state. I greet any knock on the door with a hand gun in my hand and I never approach from the door they are at. If they knock on the front door then I’m going out the back and walking thru my azaleas to get the drop.

It’s all about seizing the initiative. In most crimes the offender sets the time and place, Someone knocking has just lost the initiative if the homeowner uses their brain.

In this case, bring in Georgia, I would have simply set up inside with my shotgun and handgun and waited for him to enter because he needs to be inside before I can defend, I would have waited until he entered the fatal funnel and he would have been done and I would have been cleared. It’s also why I have exterior cameras but no interior cameras.

I thought the same, but it turns out he wasn’t even there and was talking remotely.
