“He’s a bad guy, he’s a bad dude, and I’m glad we were able to take him into custody. He’s lucky he was taken to custody. He almost got shot by a homeowner, who had he shot him, we would be standing here and I’d be telling you he did a good job and did what a homeowner should do,” Sheriff Budensiek said.
What’s this all about?
A felon was attempting to break in to condos in Jensen Beach, FL. He tested one door, looked in to the window, and Lisa, who lives there, saw him and screamed. He husband then grabbed a shotgun and is on camera chasing this “bad dude” away.
The felon was later found by Sheriff deputies and arrested by a canine handler.
“We know he’s a felon. We know he’s been arrested numerous times. I don’t know how many, and I don’t know all the states he’s been arrested in. That’s another thing our detectives are trying to sort through right now,” the sheriff said.
It appears the sheriff approved of the homeowners’ actions. It doesn’t appear as if the shotgun has a light on it. I don’t know how brightly lit this area of the condo was, but a handheld or weapon light might have helped take away the felon’s vision should the felon have turned on the homeowners.
