David Adams, 41, faces a charge of aggravated burglary, online court records show. His bond was set at $25,000.

Officers were first called to reports of a burglary in progress at a home in the 5800 block of South Diamond Mill Road around 5 a.m. Tuesday.
Police said Adams broke into the house and began assaulting the homeowners, said Perry Twp. Officer Brian Douglas.
During the fight, one of the homeowners got a handgun and shot the intruder, Douglas said. Police said Adams then jumped into a car and drove away from the scene.
Ramond Isaacs told News Center 7 he was asleep in his bed when he heard the intruder attack his wife, then started to attack him.
“He hit me probably 25, 30 times,” Isaacs said. “He was on my back and I reached around and shot him and he went running. I shot again as he was leaving.”
Isaacs said the intruder made an odd, and false accusation that he was responsible for raping the intruder’s brother.
“He broke in through the dog door. And then he was saying something about raping his brother. I don’t know what the hell he was doing,” Isaacs said in a 911 call to dispatchers, obtained by News Center 7 in a public records request.
Around 7 a.m., police located the Adams, naked and suffering from a gunshot wound in the area of Old Dayton Road and North Lutheran Church Road, which is about six miles south of the incident on Diamond Mill Road.
Adams was taken to an area hospital for treatment, but he was being held in Montgomery County Jail Monday. Both Isaacs and his wife were also transported to area hospitals for observations.
Police said the homeowners and Adams did not know each other, court records read..
