When he got home, he saw a man in his barn with a wood chisel in his hand. Felker and the man allegedly got into a physical confrontation, and the man jumped into his vehicle and tried to get away.
Felker said the man drove away at high speeds, crashing into a couple of trees.
“I just put my phone down. I just started to run home. I was just curious who was in my house,” he told Global News.
“He was rummaging through all my stuff at the time … He was looking for a tool and he had a wood chisel in his hand when he pulls up to me.”
