SADDLE BROOK, New Jersey - August 13, 2008 - Authorities
said a son held Bergen County sheriff's officers at gunpoint as they tried to
evict his 88-year-old mother from her foreclosed home.
Officials said John Brennan threatened two officers with a .22-caliber handgun.
Officers talked to the 60-year-old, who surrendered after about five minutes when a SWAT team arrived Tuesday.
Beatrice Brennan had refinanced her two-bedroom, $250,000 home and had fallen behind on payments. The house was sold at a sheriff's auction in May.
Real estate agent Donovan Stewart told The Bergen Record he's "never had anything like this happen before."
