Stewart said two teens set off the burglar alarm when they broke in and a 13-year-old resident in the house went to check on the alarm and surprised the pair. Police were still looking for the second teen.

“She was coming out of one room and he (Hall) was coming out of another room, and they scared each other,” Stewart said.

He said Hall shoved the girl out of his way and fled the house.
