But, the homeowner arrived home and interrupted their theft, holding them at gunpoint until troopers could get to  the scene.

Troopers placed the two would be purloiners under arrest.

Renfro was charged with Criminal Trespass I, Theft III. Then after further investigation, Renfro was found to be driving on a suspended license and possessed a set of brass knuckles and so was charged with Driving with a Suspended License and Misconduct Involving Weapons IV.
