LA PUENTE, Calif. (AP) — An 83-year-old man ended a police standoff that lasted for hours when he pushed a suspected burglar off his roof in La Puente.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officials say the male suspect was jumping from rooftop to rooftop on Tuesday, prompting crisis negotiators to respond. The suspect refused to come down after negotiators and deputies issued commands.
Sgt. Joseph Morales tells the Los Angeles Times that the elderly resident became tired of the situation that lasted about five hours. The man climbed onto the roof and pushed the suspect off.

The police couldn’t manage to get on the roof? It took an old man who wanted to get some sleep and got tired of five hours of stupidity?

The video is priceless.
Before he forced the guy off the roof, he was fixing to roundhouse him.
