A Des Moines man was arrested Tuesday morning after police say he broke into a home. Thirty-six-year-old Nelson McAlpine has been charged with second-degree burglary.

Police say Mc Alpine was punching holes in the front door of the home at 1364 Idaho around 5:30 a.m., when the homeowner heard him. Eighty-nine-year-old Beatrice Turner says McAlpine gained entry to her home through the door.

Turner told police she grabbed her .22 caliber pistol and shot at Mc Alpine but didn't not hit him. McAlpine left the home and was arrested in the yard by officers who had responded after a neighbor called police.

McAlpine suffered minor injuries to his hand from punching the front door. He is being held at the Polk County Jail.
