By the Transcript StaffJanuary 03, 2002

A Noble man who was awakened early New Year’s Day by the sound of
someone opening his garage door grabbed a gun and thwarted a suspected
burglar, Noble police reported.

Officers said in a District Court affidavit filed Wednesday that a
resident held James William Uhlenhake, 19, at gunpoint until they
arrived after the resident caught the man inside his garage.

Uhlenhake was charged with one count of first-degree burglary stemming
from the alleged break-in.

According to the affidavit filed with the charge, the resident grabbed a
.380 pistol to investigate noises in his garage. After he stopped
Uhlenhake inside the garage, he said, he held the gun on the man while
calling police and until police arrived.
