Resident scares away intruder at Fairfield home
Friday, March 18, 2005

FAIRFIELD — A man who fled a mental health evaluation at Travis Air
Force Base was found trying to break into a house, Fairfield police said
Wednesday.

Cole Richardson, a 21-year-old military dependent living on the base,
alarmed a resident by banging on a sliding glass door to a bedroom
around 1 a.m. Wednesday, said police Lt. Tony Shipp.

The resident told investigators that he armed himself with a handgun and
went to investigate. Shipp said that when the resident saw
Richardson, clad only in a pair of underwear and still attempting to
enter the house, he fired his weapon. He then went outside, fired
additional shots and held the suspect at gunpoint until police arrived.

None of the shots hit Richardson, but he was later treated for cuts to
his head. Investigators did not know how Richardson suffered the
cuts./AP
