FARMINGTON, N.H. (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston) - A New Hampshire man arrested for firing a warning shot to scare away an alleged burglar who broke into his home says he's grateful for the support he's received.Dennis Fleming says he's received support from people not only in his hometown of Farmington, but across the country, as well.Fleming says he got home Saturday afternoon to find that his house had been broken into. He says he went to check on other neighbors when he saw the alleged burglar jump out a window of one of the homes.
Fleming, armed with a revolver, fired a shot into the ground to hold the man at bay. When police arrived, they arrested 27-year-old Joseph Hebert in connection with the break-ins.
Later that day, police returned to the neighborhood and arrested Fleming for firing his weapon, and charged him with reckless conduct.
"The police explained everything to me," Fleming said. "I just didn't want the guy to get away."
Strafford County Attorney Tom Velardi says he's reviewing the charges to see if it fits with the state's self-defense laws.
Velardi expects to make a decision by Thursday or late Wednesday.
