CERESCO, Neb. - Garage-owner Herman Pearson surprised a burglar ransacking his garage Sunday night but was forced to leave at gunpoint as the armed man escaped with $4 to $5.

"I left, jumped in my car which was parked in front of the garage," Pearson said, "and I went home to call the sheriff."
Pearson said the burglar took "only $4 to $5 from the cash register."
