The intruder was still on the property when police arrived and took him into custody.

“I’ve lived here for the past year and a half,” John Broderick told The Macomb Daily. “I thought it was the best place to be, the safest area around here. I never dreamed I would encounter something like this.”

When Clinton Township police officers arrived, they found the suspect in the back yard, according to Detective Capt. Richard Maierle. The suspect refused to cooperate with the officers, who then deployed a Taser to subdue him then took him into custody.
