12-05-2012 Burglary Suspect Dials 9-1-1

ParkerCounty Sheriff’s deputies arrested a Bedford man after a homeowner caught him inside his residence.

ParkerCounty Sheriff Larry Fowler said the incident occurred in the 100 block of Lelon Lane in Springtown, around 12:30 a.m., Tuesday, Dec 4, 2012.

When Sheriff’s deputies arrived on scene, the suspect was on a 9-1-1 line with ParkerCounty communication, and the homeowner, who was holding him at gunpoint, also dialed 9-1-1.

The 38-year-old victim told deputies and Springtown Police that he and his wife awoke to a man wearing dark clothing and a hoodie standing in his bedroom. The suspect then exited the residence, went around the side of the home and walked toward his GMC pickup, parked in the driveway of the victim’s residence. The victim ordered the suspect to stop, which he refused. The victim then ordered the suspect to drop a set of keys in his hand, which he complied, but sat inside his pickup truck.

The victim then waited for deputies to arrive on scene, as he held the suspect at gunpoint.

The victim reported he did not know the suspect, later identified as Christopher Lance Moore, 41.

When the victim asked the suspect what he was doing inside of his residence, Moore answered, “Just unlucky, I guess.”

The victim also told deputies when he asked the suspect what his intentions were inside the home, Moore replied, “bad intentions.”

Moore was taken into custody and charged with burglary of a habitation, a second degree felony.

As of Wednesday morning, Moore remained incarcerated. His bond was set at $35,000.
