Husband shoots teen intruder

Six feet tall and armed with a stick, a 14-year-old boy on Thursday dove through a bedroom window, spurring a frightened homeowner to shoot him once in the leg, authorities said.

When Augusta County investigators arrived at 449 Lookout Mountain Lane in Mount Solon, they found an aftermath of broken glass and blood, said county sheriff’s investigator Brian Jenkins.

Authorities received a 911 call at about 9:35 a.m., shortly after the teen charged the homeowner with a wooden stick outside the house, police said.

Pulling out a handgun, the homeowner and his wife retreated into the house and locked the door behind them, authorities said. But closed doors and locks only slowed the teen, who broke a window and climbed inside, forcing the couple to flee to the master bedroom and lock themselves in, police said.

Unable to bust down the door, investigators said the teen went back outside and took a running dive through the bedroom window.

That did it.

The homeowner shot the boy once in the leg with a 9mm handgun, authorities said. When paramedics arrived at the house at about 9:50 a.m., the teen was still inside, surrounded by bits of broken glass.

Rescue crews airlifted the teen by helicopter to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville, police said. Authorities listed him in stable condition Thursday night.

Authorities said the injured teen was wanted at the time on a juvenile detention order that was active since Dec. 28.

According to Virginia property records, Philip and Kimberly Crilley own the Mount Solon house where the struggle occurred.

Augusta County court records show authorities on Oct. 29 charged Kimberly Crilley, 48, with having carnal knowledge of a 14-year-old Mount Solon boy. The felony charge can be brought in cases involving a variety of sexual relations between an adult and a teen ages 13 to 15.

Crilley’s case is scheduled to go before a grand jury this month.

Also in her court file was a letter to Judge Victor V. Ludwig from a Blue Ridge Court Services (BRCS) probation officer, dated Thursday, that asked Ludwig to revoke Crilley’s $5,000 unsecured bond.

“BRCS has learned that Mrs. Crilley has had contact with the victim,” Probation Officer Debbie Walker wrote. “By her own admission in a phone call to BRCS this morning, Mrs. Crilley admitted contact on at least two occasions during the past week.”

The letter described the condition of Crilley’s bond as explicit: “have no contact with the victim – NO EXCEPTION,” Walker wrote.

Records show Ludwig revoked Crilley’s bond Thursday and asked for notification upon her arrest. As of Thursday evening, officials at Middle River Regional Jail in Verona said they had not processed her into their facility.

Authorities have not brought charges in the morning incident, investigators said.

Calls to the boy’s home and the Crilley family were not returned Thursday.
