Gotta love our Marines... God bless you, every one of you. Thank you for all you do, on duty and off.

A burglary suspect had the opportunity to visit a local hospital after meeting a Marine whose parents' home he attempted to burglarize Friday.

Friday morning, deputies were dispatched to the 12400 block of East Desmet Road where a homeowner had called 911 to report she had come home with her husband, son and daughter-in-law to find their animals outside and a screen door open.

The homeowner's son, Alex Pohle, a 22-year-old Marine infantryman home on leave from Afghanistan, went inside the home to investigate. When deputies arrived they heard yelling coming from inside the home and went in to find Pohle and his father had detained Christopher Schwanke.

Pohle told deputies that he had gone inside his parents' home and found Schwanke, 43, in his mom and dad's bedroom. Pohle said that Schwanke tried to shut the door on him -- not an intelligent choice, according to the Spokane County Sheriff's Office -- to which Pohle responded by pushing the door open and "escorted Schwanke to the ground". Pohle was more than gracious enough to give the suspect some counseling on his poor decision-making skills while waiting for deputies to arrive.

Schwanke, a prolific criminal with nearly three decades of criminal history in Spokane County, according to authorities, was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital for medical treatment for unspecified injuries. He was then booked into the Spokane County Jail for residential burglary.

Edit: Here's a link to the story and video if you want to hear him tell his story!

Great story! More thieves, thugs & assorted bad guys should meet one of our brave military personnel in such an up-close & personal manner. It would be a better place to live!

he tried to run away, which got him tackled and wrestled to the floor. They caught the guy with a bag of jewelry and hunting supplies he was stealing. Another career criminal: BUSTED!
