Man Charged after Stopping Burglary
A New Hampshire man who fired his handgun into the ground to scare an alleged burglar he caught crawling out of a neighbor's window is now facing a felony charge -- and the same potential prison sentence as the man he stopped.

I would love to hear the rest of this story. There has GOT to be more to it than a simple discharge into the ground. I understand it's not a good idea but a felony? Wow.

Correct me where I have the process wrong - to be charged just means he was arrested and the officers filed charges which now go to the County Attorney. Yes, elementary stuff, but I've watched too many TV shows over the years so reality and what I think I know are two different things (like firing a warning shot is a good idea because that's how Bat Masterson did it on NBC). Since the thief was caught in an unusual manner it's due diligence to do everything to the letter to ensure shitbird goes away for awhile, and don't give his attorney anything to work with, yeah?
Edit : On second thought, after reading some quotes today from the County Attorney, I'm no longer so confident this will be slap on the wrist and a pat on the back for Mr Fleming. Still hoping so though.

Ever wonder why people don't want to get involved when they see something bad happening ? Here you go.
SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM-Ex-Sheriff Martin Howe to Will Kane in "High Noon"
"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

So next time, no warning shot, just shoot him. Gotcha.

I wonder if thecharges were dropped because of political pressure?
'Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a
delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end!'
