Robert L. Weaver
A 31-year-old Mountain Home man wound up looking at the wrong side of a citizen’s gun after an attempted burglary at a Mountain Home restaurant.
Robert L. Weaver was arrested on a felony charge of breaking or entering into a motor vehicle on the morning of June 11.
According to the probable cause affidavit in the case, Weaver allegedly entered the restaurant on U.S. Highway 62B and drew attention to himself by his behavior. Weaver allegedly asked to use the bathroom, then entered and exited multiple doors.
Wait staff at the restaurant notified the owner and Weaver was allegedly observed via video outside of the building checking vehicles and a storage building. At the time, Weaver was just looking at the vehicles, but not entering.
When Weaver finally grabbed the sliding door to the victim’s van and pulled it open, the victim exited the business with his firearm drawn and held Weaver at bay until authorities arrived. Mountain Home Police arrived first on the scene and took Weaver into custody. Weaver was then turned over to the county as the restaurant’s building is not in the city limits.
Bond for Weaver was set at $5,000.
