Couple make burglar clean up at gunpoint
A burglar in Montgomery chose the wrong family to mess with, literally. Adrian and Tiffany McKinnon returned home on Tuesday after a week away to find that thieves had emptied almost everything the family of five owned, Tiffany McKinnon said through tears.
“Tears just rolled down my face as I walked in and saw everything gone and piles of trash all over my home,” she said.
Adrian McKinnon sent his wife to see her sister while he inspected the piles left behind. As he walked back into the sunroom, a man walked through the back door straight into him, Tiffany McKinnon told the Montgomery Advertiser in a story Thursday.
“My husband Adrian caught the thief red-handed in our home,” she said. “And what is even crazier, the man even had my husband’s hat sitting right on his head.”
Adrian McKinnon held the suspect, 33-year-old Tajuan Bullock, at gunpoint and told him to sit on the floor until he decided what to do.
“We made this man clean up all the mess he made, piles of stuff, he had thrown out of my drawers and cabinets onto the floor,” Tiffany McKinnon said.
When police arrived, Bullock complained about being forced to clean the home at gunpoint.
“This man had the nerve to raise sand about us making him clean up the mess he made in my house,” she said. “The police officer laughed at him when he complained and said anybody else would have shot him dead.”
Capt. Huey Thornton, a police spokesman, said police arrested Bullock at 2 p.m. Tuesday on burglary and theft charges. He was being held in the Montgomery County Detention Facility on a $30,000 bond.
“The victims were lucky in this case to be able to catch the suspect in the act and hold him until police arrived,” Thornton said.
Love the Picture. Perhaps the caption should read “You CAN’T has cheeseburger”
Does remind me of “Big Mac” as in Pulp Fiction when Travolta buys it.
So the guy comes home from vacation and has a gun with him? Lots of things can go wrong allowing a suspect to move around with things in his hands?
Bad move. Just call the cops and definitely shoot the guy if he twitches.
This picture must have been taken in some other state than Texas. It’s obvious. So far, the kitten is still alive.
>So the guy comes home from vacation and has a gun with him?
Yup. This is Alabama. When I was a kid in Birmingham, we’d come back from a family road trip, and Dad would make us stay in the car while he “cleared” the house. Assuming nobody is there can be a false assumption even in your own home.
To this day, I give the house a once over before going in. I’d rather have to leave to go get the cops than confront an intruder. This homeowner was stupid and lucky. He should have left, called the cops, and waited for them to arrive at the first evidence of break-in.
Good for the homeowner!
The thief is lucky that he didn’t get shot after being forced to clean up.
The thief is stupid for returning to the scene.
See? Not all policemen are out to get you. There’s no conspiracy.
In many parts of the country the homeowner would have been arrested for any number of “violations.”

While you are correct, there is some “just desserts” that kind of shadow that fact.
Maybe the burglar could sue him for forced servitude.
Great picture! But I think it would be put to better use by the animal shelter people, who have a tough time get cats adopted. The caption would read, “Adopt this kitten, or it gets shot!” or “Spay your cat, or this is what will happen to its kittens.” If it’s a Tv commercial, cut to black and follow with a gun blast effect. Talk about a shock ad.
The picture is from the pilot movie for the Canadian TV mockumentary “The Trailer Park Boys”.
“A dope trailer is no place for a kitty!”
