SPRING, Texas (KTRK) — Two masked men tried to abduct a woman outside her home in the Legends Trace subdivision Friday, but Montgomery County deputies ended up arresting the woman’s fiancé who came to her rescue.
Her fiancé, Jeremiah Morin, ran outside shooting at the men as they ran away from the subdivision near Elan and Birnham Woods Drive.
The victim gave ABC13 surveillance video showing the masked men attacking her.
She also provided images that she said shows the masked men were armed with guns.
Joe Nichols lives nearby and said just before noon he saw the men run up and grab his neighbor.
“It was strange. Just out of the blue attack on her,” he said. “This was a gunfight at the O.K. Corral stuff. There were 10-12 shots fired.”
Much to the confusion of neighbors and the victim, deputies arrested Morin, saying he is affiliated with a gang and charging him with a deadly conduct with a firearm. They allege he shot recklessly into the neighborhood while aiming for the attackers.
In a statement, the sheriff’s office said, “During the entire investigation, Detectives with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit were met with resistance and a lack of cooperation from the victim and Morin as to the motive and details surrounding the attack.”
The statement also said Morin is known to be affiliated with a gang.
“She’s very lucky that he came out and had a pistol and he was able to defend her,” Nichols said.
Morin’s fiancé denied that he is involved in a gang and said she’s outraged that he was arrested, while the masked men got away.
Investigators obtained a search warrant and seized two guns from Morin’s home. Morin’s fiancé hopes the surveillance video will clear his name.

You are not allowed to own a pair these days. Submit to tyranny sheeples.
A man stands up and defends himself and he’s the law-breaking bad guy. WTF? I guess living in “opposite George” world has it’s quirks.
Opposite George world works like this. Whatever makes sense, do the exact opposite, the gooberment way! Steal and waste billions of taxpayer dollars in worthless causes lining someone’s pocket each step of the way.
Hail to the song “This is how we do it.” because they did it, they told us they did it, unforgiven ill-gotten gains, yet to see just punishment rendered.
Will Lebron do it again? Is Trump secretly gay? Is Lady Gaga a dude? These are the earth shattering questions the MSM poops into our minds each and every minute of each and every day. Nevermind that boring foreign relations disaster.
WTF?! Even in Texas you have to be a pig to shoot at criminals? I guarantee you , if this had been a cop who “shot recklessly into the neighborhood while aiming for the attackers”, there would be no arrests made, no charges filed.
