Aiken woman finds man in her house pointing a rifle at her
AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - A man was arrested in Aiken on suspicion of entering a woman’s house and pointing a gun at her before fleeing and prowling around the neighborhood.
James Keven Harmon, 47, was arrested and booked into Aiken County jail on charges including burglary, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and pointing and presenting a firearm at a person.
It all began around 8 a.m. Sunday in the 100 block of Hickory Road Southeast, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
A woman said that while she was in her kitchen, her dogs started barking at the front door.
She went to see what the dogs were barking at but didn’t see anything until she got back to the kitchen, where a man was standing in her kitchen and pointing a rifle at her.
The man asked where her husband was and she told him to “get out,” police said.
