The caller was home alone with his/her younger sibling when they heard the disturbance on the first floor of the home and dialed 911. Responding officers who found the front door of the home open immediately removed the juveniles from the inside before searching for the man. As the residence was being searched an officer at the scene observed that the door of a motor home parked in the resident’s yard was also open.
