Two Florida Burglars Broke Into The Wrong Woman’s Home

Two Florida Burglars Broke Into The Wrong Woman’s Home Her previous job taught her how to deal with such threats. B. Christopher Agee — April 1, 2015 Volusia County Sheriff's Office

According to authorities in Volusia County, Fla., two suspects were promptly arrested from the scene of a reported burglary after the homeowner gave one of them a beating he likely won’t soon forget.

WKMG reported that Margaret Gulla was at home when a man and woman approached her house. The two suspects, 35-year-old Tobias Cobb and 38-year-old Kimberly Jarrell, apparently had an organized approach to residential burglary. Police indicate Jarrell would typically knock on a targeted home’s front door to make sure no one was at home, while Cobb worked to find entry so he could carry out the crime.

Their most recent exploit, however, did not end as they hoped. Far from a typical victim, Gulla is a former weightlifter who did not react kindly when Cobb punched her and knocked the phone from her hand as she attempted to call 9-1-1.

“He hit me, so I socked him in his eye,” she said, “and he was trying to get away and I had him by his shirt and I wouldn’t let go. I tried to drag him to get to the phone.”

The two subjects were able to break away and flee on foot. Authorities apprehended Cobb a short distance away after a neighbor found him barricaded in a closet. Police threatened even more physical injury should he refuse to surrender.

“You can come out of the closet or you can be bit by my dog,” one officer reportedly told him.

Another neighbor pointed police in Jarrell’s direction, and she was also arrested.

Cobb will face a litany of charges related to the crime, while his alleged accomplice was held on a count of principal to burglary. The Volusia County Sheriff’s Department website indicates this was Cobb’s seventh arrest in just over three years. Jarrell’s online record shows 12 arrests during roughly the same period. Gulla pointed out that an arrest is a better fate than the alternative they could have met upon breaking into her home and assaulting her.

“Just don’t come back to my house again,” she warned the pair, “because the next time you’ll get shot.”

I bet by that point the police puppy was reared up like like a bucking horse and ready to par-tay."

Our Justice System at work. This Kabuki Theatre will continue until an armed homeowner does the court's job and correct the problem - permanently.

No. Your comment makes no sense. I won’t elaborate.
