ST. GEORGE – A St. George man who shot an intruder in his home earlier this week is also facing legal trouble.

According to a press release from the St. George Police Dept., officers arrived at the apartment of 20-year-old Stephen Porkay just before 9 a.m. Thursday on reports of a burglary. Porkay said that some people had broken into his apartment and he’d shot one of them before the intruders fled in a black car.

Police notified nearby hospitals to look for a person who had recently suffered a gunshot wound, and within an hour, a hospital in Cedar City admitted a person with a gunshot wound.

Officers interviewed four people who had arrived in a black car and dropped off the wounded man. They arrested a female juvenile, 18-year-old Toree Edwards and 20-year-old Bradley Neil in connection with the alleged burglary.

Environmental activist Tim DeChristopher is asking a federal appeals court in Colorado to overturn his two-year prison sentence.

DeChristopher was sentenced for disrupting a Bureau of Land Management oil and gas auction in Utah.

Defense lawyers argue that DeChristopher was wrongfully convicted and had no criminal intentions.

Arguments in his appeals case began on Thursday.
