ORION TOWNSHIP, MI — A shotgun wielding Oakland County man scared off an intruder in his home, according to a press release.

Oakland County Sheriff's Office Deputies responded to 3000 Queensbury Rd. on Jan. 20 at 8:42 a.m. A 23-year-old resident told Deputies that he had been in his bedroom when his dogs started barking. Thinking that someone was in his home, the man grabbed his 12 gauge shotgun, loaded several shells of ammunition, and walked out of his bedroom.

Upon being confronted, the intruder ran out the front door. Deputies conducted an area search and a K-9 Unit attempted to establish a track of the suspect to no avail.

The incident is under investigation. The suspect is described as approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall and has a thin build.
