Montgomery, AL -- A burglar who initially made good cleaning out a couple's home in Montgomery, was made to clean up - literally - for the mess he had caused.

When Adrian and Tiffany McKinnon returned home on Tuesday after being away for a week, they were so devastated to find that thieves had emptied almost everything the family of five owned.

"Tears just rolled down my face as I walked in and saw everything gone and piles of trash all over my home," Tiffany said.

But when Adrian sent his wife to see her sister while he inspected the piles left behind, he was surprised to see a man wearing his hat walk through the back door straight into him.

"My husband Adrian caught the thief red-handed in our home," she said. "And what is even crazier, the man even had my husband's hat sitting right on his head."

At that juncture, Adrian held the suspect, 33-year-old Tajuan Bullock, at gunpoint ordering him to sit on the floor until he decided what to do.

"We made this man clean up all the mess he made, piles of stuff, he had thrown out of my drawers and cabinets onto the floor," Tiffany said.

The funny thing is, according to Tiffany, was that Bullock even the guts to complain to the police that he was forced to clean the home at gunpoint.

"This man had the nerve to raise sand about us making him clean up the mess he made in my house," she said. "The police officer laughed at him when he complained and said anybody else would have shot him dead."

Capt. Huey Thornton, a police spokesman, said they had arrested Bullock on charges of burglary and theft.

Bullock is now being held in the Montgomery County Detention Facility on a $30,000 bond.
