CHICAGO — The burglar who went viral after being attacked by a frying pan-wielding homeowner is a 12-time convicted felon who was paroled three months ago on burglary, forgery, theft, and stolen motor vehicle cases, according to court filings.

Bradley Willenborg, 31, provided Chicago cops with the alias “Brandon Williams” and a fake birthdate after they arrested him in the 3400 block of West Parker around 3:30 p.m. Thursday. Judge Susana Ortiz ordered him detained yesterday afternoon because of a safety risk.

As he entered his ransacked home, Williams encountered Willenborg on the stairs coming from the second floor, a CPD report said. Williams retrieved a frying pan from his kitchen to defend himself. And what happened next is internet gold.

If you can't get to your firearm (shame on you!), then first reach for the trusty frying pan!

There is video at link of the perp running out of the house with the frying pan-wielding homeowner in hot pursuit.

The guy with a frying pan had a pretty effeminate way with his/its pan swings.

Will there be a DNC convention in Chicago this summer? I’m beginning to have my doubts.

Was it a registered frying pan? Did they have a license for the frying pan? Or was it a ghost frying pan? Automatic or bump stop frying pan? Was the home owner arrested for assault with a deadly weapon!

Um...cheering on the alleged ‘burglar’ here.

Note the rainbow flag and the supposed ‘victim’s’ pussified swing of the pan, nevermind the fact that he’s committing assault upon a fleeing, unarmed suspect who allegedly entered a property surrounded by a wrought iron fence through an UNLOCKED gate.

This screams gay/trans dei public worker with a high income and inadequate sense/security plus zero weapons in the house and zero offensive skills.

Translated: The supposed ‘victim’ fully supports the policies under which his beloved city is governed.

No sympathy whatsoever.

My favorite part of that video was the big, happy dog that was only heard from after burglar, frying pan and homeowner were all on a chase down the street.

When asked about the amount of force used, the homeowner said, "what did you eggs benedict me to do?"

Politics as virtual reality, clearly envisioned.

Interesting story. But unfortunately, the only person who will learn from it is the burglar. Next time he’ll probably bring something that trumps a frying pan.

When frying pans are outlawed, only outlaws will have frying pans.

LOL. This is where cast iron pans come in handy.

There is a fair chance I own more Lodge cast iron than anyone on the thread - and I’ll take a Glock given my druthers.

Glad it ended well for the homeowner.

Williams is both the perp and the victim. Interesting.

UNLOCKED means nothing.

I’ve had process servers and LEO arrive at my property and will not come thru the UNLOCKED gate.

Now if it was OPEN then a different story.
