John Brennan was arrested after drawing a gun on sheriff's officers who had come to move items out of his 88-year-old mother's foreclosed home in Saddle Brook, NJ. His mother was unable to pay off her refinancing payments and the home was sold at auction in May. When movers and officers arrived yesterday, Brennan refused to let them into the house, wielding a .22-caliber gun. Eventually, the officers were able to calm Brennan down. Charges are pending against the 60-year-old; his mother was taken away in an ambulance. A mover told the Bergen Record, "I don't want to have any more experiences like this again."
