The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office said Jason Hawk broke into a home in the 7000 block of Glendale-Milford Road just before noon, but was discovered when the homeowner returned.
The homeowner, who has a concealed carry permit, took out his handgun and went around behind the home and confronted Hawk, deputies said.
