Police responded to a breaking and entering call from Kevin Roberts in the Letherbark area, finding that he discovered Beckett in his residence after returning home and that Beckett had stolen a gun, then walked away. Troopers responded to Becket's residence nearby, hearing Beckett yelling loudly, he then came to the door with a knife in his hand, but allowed officers to take him into custody. In the complaint, Roberts describes Beckett having a gun at another time, saying "he was looking down the barrel of a gun" held by Beckett. The complaint says Roberts and Beckett's mother thought "they were going to die," describing numerous pieces of property dislocated. Sgt. C. J. Weekley and Cpl. J. B.
