Two Florida Burglars Broke Into The Wrong Womans 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 wont 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 homes 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 wouldnt 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 Jarrells 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 Sheriffs Department website indicates this was Cobbs seventh arrest in just over three years. Jarrells 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 dont come back to my house again, she warned the pair, because the next time youll get shot.
I bet by that point the police puppy was reared up like like a bucking horse and ready to par-tay."
Break in my house, you die.

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