A police officer who just returned home from work held a man at gunpoint in St. Albans after discovering the suspect asleep in a chair in his living room while the officer’s wife and child were upstairs. Christopher Allen was charged with nighttime burglary following an incident that happened Monday morning. The officer does not work for the St. Albans Police Department, but is employed by a different police agency. Allen apparently cooked a meal in the kitchen and consumed alcohol before passing out. The officer’s wife and child were upstairs the whole time. The officer held the man at gunpoint, called police and walked the man outside until St. Albans police officers came and arrested him. Allen currently is being held at South Central Regional Jail on a $5,000 or 10% cash bond.
