Will Bounty hunters who target wrong house get jail time?
Background: SIKESTON, MO (KFVS) - How would you feel if someone showed up at your house in the middle of the night demanding to come inside?
A Sikeston couple says they were not about to take a chance and open the door especially when the strangers would not identify themselves.
Now that couple wants their story heard that the people at the their door turned out to be bounty hunters from Mississippi.
The couple ended up being the wrong targets. Now those bounty hunters face charges themselves.
Jeremy McNeill was taken into custody in Arkansas. Tim Fugate was arrested in Scott County. The pleaded not guilty to acting without a license in court Wednesday.
"We hear this bam, bam, bam at our back door!" said David Carnell.
That's how he says the most terrifying night of his life began, with a stranger banging at his door.
"I said who is it? He says I'm here for Lawrence Carnell. I say there's no Lawrence Carnell, I'm David Carnell, you've got the wrong house! What are you doing at my back door? He says open the door or I'm gonna kick it in!"
Carnell says he grabbed his gun and aimed it through the glass doors at the man outside.
"I saw my laser shine through, and all of a sudden I looked down and he's shining his laser back at me, at my chest. I jumped back, and then Jenny comes running down the hall." http://www.kfvs12.com/global/story.asp?s=10807004
