Two men from Alabama, identified as 35-year-old Dylan Klein and 54-year-old Lester Eakes, were arrested following an alleged attempted home invasion in Center Point that reportedly turned violent over Labor Day. According to authorities in Jefferson County, the incident began when the two men allegedly attempted to enter a private residence, prompting a confrontation with the homeowner.

Investigators reported that the homeowner confronted the men and ordered them to leave the property. However, the situation allegedly escalated into a physical struggle. During the confrontation, the homeowner reportedly fired a gunshot, grazing one of the suspects. The incident quickly turned into a frightening situation for everyone involved.

Following the confrontation, both suspects allegedly fled the scene on foot. Authorities launched efforts to locate them, and the two men were reportedly found and arrested shortly afterward near Pinson Boulevard and an ALDI store. Their arrests followed an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the alleged break-in and physical altercation.

Klein faces charges including second-degree burglary, harassment, and driving under the influence, while Eakes faces burglary and harassment charges. Both men remain presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. The case highlights how quickly an alleged property crime can escalate into a dangerous confrontation.
