A Colorado resident came home to find an intruder had made himself at home in his house, CBS station KCNC-TV reported.
Police said they responded to a burglary call where shots were fired in the 1200 block of Mesa Court. When they arrived, they found the homeowner holding a man at gunpoint.
The homeowner told police he returned home around 5 p.m. last Monday and found a strange car in his garage.
"When he opened his garage door he found that there was a white Lexus ES300 parked in his garage. He entered his home and went to the master bedroom. The home owner noticed that several items were out of place," Jeff Hesalroad with Golden police said in a prepared statement.
Hesalroad said the homeowner went to his bedroom and retrieved his handgun. He called out and a man answered. He found the man wearing only a pair of boxers that belonged to the homeowner.
"The homeowner ordered the man out of his house and showed the suspect his gun. The man argued with the homeowner, claiming the homeowner`s gun was not real," Hesalroad said. "When the suspect moved aggressively toward him, the homeowner fired a warning shot, purposely away from the suspect."
Hesalroad said Timothy P. Gonzales, 24, had been in the house most of the day.
"He showered, did his laundry and placed his own items in the refrigerator. Police also discovered materials commonly used to make methamphetamine on the work bench in the garage," Hesalroad said.
The house if for sale and the investigation revealed Gonzales said he was the homeowner to two real estate agents who came to show the house.
Gonzales was arrested for burglary, possession of burglary tools and drug violations.
