[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 1200018, member: 7629"] Tenant fends off armed intruder, police arrest one The Wellsford Oaks apartment complex at 1010 E. 66th Place. By MATT BARNARD and SHANNON MUCHMORE World Staff Writers Published: 7/5/2010 7:56 AM An apartment resident scared away a home intruder early Monday by shooting at him through a bathroom door, police said. The man, along with his wife and school-age brother, awoke about 5:35 a.m. when a gun-wielding man forced his way into their home at the Wellsford Oaks complex, Cpl. Brett Bilyeu said. As the intruder forced the tenants into the bathroom, the man asked to retrieve a blanket as a ruse to collect a pistol, Bilyeu said.

About five hours later, police arrested Melvin Edward Dan, 19 on complaints of robbery with a firearm and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. The victims identified Dan as the intruder at the Oklahoma State University Medical Center, where he sought treatment for the gunshot wound, according to an arrest report.

Charges of shooting with intent to kill, first-degree burglary, and assault and battery were dismissed. The other three felony charges -- assault and battery with a deadly weapon, domestic assault and battery by strangulation, and feloniously pointing a firearm -- are still pending in court. Both misdemeanor counts were dismissed.
