I understand you are just explaining things as they may be, and thats something that this story may need, a little more info. But the part of parking behind the car in his own driveway as being part of the problem makes no sense...its his driveway/property and he should be allowed to park where ever he feels like...no?
Parking right behind the other car serves no other purpose than to prevent the bad guys from escaping. Then the guy grabbed a hatchet to confront the bad guy. Dude struck the bad guy in the face. Twice. Perhaps a blow to the shoulder would have sufficed. Maybe no blow at all was necessary.

We'll never know for sure until more facts come out, but it almost sounds like the homeowner's actions start to approach the vigilantism/retribution end of the spectrum.
