Michael Alvarez: Sheriff stopped intruders from entering our house

On the afternoon of Feb. 3, an intruder was on the property attempting to enter our home. We called 911 and the operator stayed on the line until helped arrived. The good Samaritan in the area was our sheriff, who held the intruder until his deputies arrived.
