CARROLL COUNTY, Ohio -- Tonight 30-year-old Jason R. Haught is in jail on $1 million bond, charged with five felonies, including aggravated robbery and kidnapping.

A Carroll County family said Haught showed up at their garage sale, with a loaded gun and threatened to take their children, and it was the grandfather, Joe Sabol, who is in his 70s, who saved their lives.

“I seen someone open the door wondering who let himself in,” said alleged victim Amy Sutton. “Then I seen him loading the gun, pointing it at me and I screamed. He said don’t do it, I’ll take the kids.”

That's when Sutton said she sprang into action and ran for the front door to get help.

“So I tried running, so he threw me up against the wall, so I got up and running again and I got the door know yanked me back so I cried for help,” she said.

All the while, the intruder never knew Sutton’s grandfather was right behind him, waiting for the moment to strike.

“I said ‘What should I do?'” said Sabol. “I had one eye on her, one eye on the gun. I got the gun out of his hand. He was out. He went this way by the gun.”

Sutton said it all happened so quickly, but her grandfather, more than twice the age of the intruder, put the lives of his family before his own.

Sutton said she called 911 and in minutes, police found Haught was found in the woods. Knowing that the suspect is in custody is the only thing that's keeping Sutton calm after such an ordeal.

“You know it happens to other people, and yeah it can happen in Carrollton,” she said.
