NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. — An attempted home burglary in Nassau County turned into a shooting Wednesday night.
“If you break into somebody’s home, you should beg to get shot. And that’s exactly what happened,” said Sheriff Bill Leepe, with the Nassau County Sheriffs office.
The sheriff’s office said the shooting was in self-defense. Investigators 18-year-old Anson Shawn Drew and a juvenile broke into a home on Clearwater Road in Nassauville. The report states the suspect pointed a flashlight at the homeowner, who then shot his revolver at the suspect in fear for his life.
The juvenile suspect is recovering at the hospital and is in stable condition after being shot in his lower back. Sheriffs office says both suspects tried to flee on foot after the shooting. The report states Drew left one of his shoes behind when he ran off. He was later arrested at his home.
“Individuals said they liked to break into vacant homes to smoke weed. This time, they broke into their own homes,” said Sheriff Leepe.
The sheriff’s office said the suspects didn’t have any marijuana on this occasion.
This wasn’t the first time the victim’s house had been broken into, as sheriffs say the house was burglarized about a month earlier, and he did have some firearms stolen.
Drew is in Nassau County jail on a bond of more than 10 thousand dollars, and the juvenile suspect will be charged pending a warrant for his arrest.

I love our sheriff. He is north Florida version of Grady Judd.
After being shot in the back, will this young man repent and change his life? I think not. Being shot is a badge of honor for these thugs.
Broke in to smoke weed...
Well, the are bright enough to have a harmless defense at the ready if caught.
Broke in to smoke weed, my derriere.
To smoke the weed they didn’t have.
I have known young men who recovered from early mistakes like this.
It could be a wake-up call. I hope so.
Dude has the munchies.
A lot.
On the other hand, look how Spicoli turned out?
I hope the cops spend a bit more time on this case. Bet it would be worth it.

Burglars often return to where they had success before.
I was wondering if these two were responsible for the previous burglary.
Or know who was...
Nothing that wouldn’t get solved by a few more people getting shot. We need a deterrent, not a study.
Note: I used to do B&E as a kid. It was a bad idea then.
I just want to sit in your living room and smoke weed and not bother nobody. The front porch is cold.
18-year-old stoner with girl hair life may be a short one.
“The sheriff’s office said the shooting was in self-defense.”
This equates the direct opposite to the Breanna Taylor case where the police officer was sentenced to 33 months in prison for shooting into a blind situation (dark house) and killed Taylor.
Why is getting a flashlight shined at you any different than a gun shot? Factually the gun shot is more of a threat. But the home owner is presumed innocent and the cop was put in prison does not seem consistent.

More likely they smoked weed, then broke in.
A Wigger. By his conduct ye shall know him.
Looks like a tranny.
Too late to mostly blame his parents. He is 18 now, legally a man. Someone like this, aimless, few job prospects but still relatively healthy, should consider enlisting for a few years of service. Do that, before you wind up back in jail or dead from the next petty burglary attempt.
