This took place not far from where I live. Don't imagine these boys will be in the business after this as they were pretty scared when pulled over. They couldn't believe someone would actaully shoot at them.

Police arrested two young Carlisle brothers Tuesday morning following a robbery and subsequent shooting incident on Lower Sharpsburg Road.
Nicholas County Sheriff Dick Garrett and Deputy Bennie Buckler, arrested Clayton Thomas Kimes, 21, of Hollar Road, Carlisle, and his brother Brandon Robert Kimes, 18, of Concord Road, Carlisle, at approximately 9 a.m. Tuesday morning Jan. 15.
Garrett and Buckler charged them both with burglary, second degree.
Carlisle Chief of Police William Denton and Carlisle Police Officers Mike Kiskaden and Brad Weaver, assisted Garrett and Buckler.
The arrests came on the heels of a shooting incident at 3995 Upper Sharpsburg, where the Kimes brothers allegedly committed burglary at a residence of Jim Robert Willoughby, according to police.
“The subject (Brandon Kimes), drove a truck around the residence where his brother (Clayton Kimes) kicked the front door open,” Brandon Kimes’ arrest citation reads. “A Play Station (video) game was taken from the residence that was later recovered in the subjects’ truck. The victim identified the Play Station as the one taken from his residence. A neighbor witnessed the burglary, fired several rounds at the suspects.”
Marion Kearns, who was armed with an AR-15, fired several .223 caliber bullets, according to Buckler and Garrett.
One of the fired rounds entered the rear window of the white S-10 pickup truck driven by the Kimes brothers. The round grazed the headrest of the drivers seat during its trajectory.
“Multiple shots were fired,” Buckler said. “Mr. Kearns has not been charged, nor will he be charged.”
Kearns and several of his neighbors have been the victims of a recent rash of thefts. He said he didn’t hesitate when he saw his neighbor’s property being burglarized.
Kearns, 60, has lived at his residence near Willoughby’s property for 51 years.
“I could have shot him between the eyes if I’d have wanted too,” Kearns said of one of the brothers he confronted.
“But I know he’s young and maybe he can get his life turned around. I hope the court system won’t fail us. They certainly had no fear that I could see and they did break into a man’s property in broad daylight.”
According to police, the brothers left the area and were stopped after neighbors dialed 911 and alerted police. The Kimes brothers were stopped in their vehicle near the outskirts of Carlisle on the Moorefield Road.
No weapons or drugs were found in the Kimes vehicle, according to Buckler.
Buckler said the Play Station and a missing sawzaw were recovered from the Kimes truck.
Buckler said he believed other items were going to be taken before concerned neighbors foiled the burglary.
“They had also removed a plasma TV from the wall at the Willoughby residence,” Buckler said. “They had it unplugged and were getting ready to carry it out when they were discovered by a neighbor, Mr. Kearns.”
According to Buckler, the Willoughby home suffered damages of approximately $1,500 due to the nature of the entrance.
Buckler and Garrett praised the efforts of the Carlisle officers who assisted them.
“It was a good cooperative effort,” Buckler said and added that the investigation received no cooperation from either Clayton or Brandon Kimes.
“They refused to make a statement of any kind,” Buckler said. “They exercised their right to remain silent.”
Buckler was asked about the actions of Mr. Kearns in helping protect his neighbor’s property.
“We all need more good neighbors like Mr. Kearns,” Buckler said. “And we appreciate all of the good cooperation other individuals and witnesses have provided during our initial investigation.”
Buckler said more charges might be filed against the Kimes brothers.
Title should read "burglars" and not burgulars. Got a little carried away there.
