71At eight-thirty on Tuesday morning, I phoned Steve Truman. I told him about the attempted home invasion.
Steve whistled. “You must’ve been up all night.”
“Not quite. The cops left at three-thirty.”
Two Fairfax County patrol officers, one male, one female, had responded to Kevin’s 911 call.
I escorted them to the backyard. Introduced Tom.
He and I stepped back and let them take over.
They immediately confiscated Dustin Eagleton’s pistol. Summoned an ambulance crew to check his condition.
The tall rangy female guarded Eagleton.
The stocky young male examined Tom’s Taser and pistol.
Returned the Taser to Tom. Took the pistol to test Tom’s claim that he hadn’t fired it.
When the medical team arrived, Eagleton was conscious but incoherent. The male cop supervised a medical check-up.
