If someone&#8217;s breaking into your house, you&#8217;re more than welcome to shoot them in Santa Rosa County.&nbsp;We prefer that you do, actually. So, whoever that was, you&#8217;re not in trouble, come see us. We have a gun safety class we put on every other Saturday,\u201d said Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weau.com\/2022\/04\/25\/florida-sheriff-encourages-residents-shoot-intruders-save-taxpayer-money\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"florida-sheriff-encourages-homeowners-gun-safety-class\" title=\"Florida Sheriff Encourages Homeowners to Take a Gun Safety Class and 'Save the Taxpayers Money'\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">press conference<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you take that, you&#8217;ll shoot a lot better, and hopefully you&#8217;ll save the taxpayers money,\u201d Johnson concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/ohio-homeowner-74-shoots-16-year-old-burglary-suspect\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"florida-sheriff-encourages-homeowners-gun-safety-class\" title=\"Florida Sheriff Encourages Homeowners to Take a Gun Safety Class and 'Save the Taxpayers Money'\">Ohio Homeowner, 74, Shoots 16-Year-Old Burglary Suspect<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Brandon J. Harris, 32,&nbsp;was arrested after allegedly breaking into multiple homes in Pace, Florida, Johnson said. About 20 deputies were chasing him through a neighborhood, but when he entered one of the homes, the homeowner fired at him. He continued to run until deputies cornered him in a bedroom in a different house and arrested him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harris had been a \u201cfrequent flyer,\u201d Johnson said. Harris was first encountered by law enforcement when he was 13 years old, and he spent over six years in prison for home invasion after being arrested 17 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was charged in this latest incident with one count of attempted burglary with assault, one count of resisting arrest without violence, two counts of burglary to an occupied dwelling, one count of criminal mischief, one count of attempted larceny, and one count of burglary to an unoccupied dwelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome people don\u2019t learn,\u201d Johnson said of Harris. \u201cFor us, this is job security. We deal with him all the time. Hopefully this time he\u2019ll go, and he won\u2019t get out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/repeat-offender-becomes-dead-offender-brick-throwing-suspect-killed-by-philly-homeowner\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"florida-sheriff-encourages-homeowners-gun-safety-class\" title=\"Florida Sheriff Encourages Homeowners to Take a Gun Safety Class and 'Save the Taxpayers Money'\">Repeat Offender Becomes Dead Offender: Brick-Throwing Suspect Killed By Philly Homeowner&nbsp;<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnson explained that during this incident, Harris chased a woman into her house while her kids were inside. She closed the door and locked it just before he reached it and started trying to get inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe doesn\u2019t care about anybody but himself,\u201d Johnson explained. \u201cHopefully he goes to prison for the rest of his life this time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sheriff\u2019s department could not identify the homeowner who fired the shots. Johnson believes the homeowner used a handgun, and he knows multiple shots were fired, but he couldn\u2019t offer any additional details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf somebody\u2019s breaking into your house, you\u2019ve got all the right in the world to defend yourself,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cOf course, [Harris] didn\u2019t get hit, and now we have to pay for him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
