Fla. authorities say naked man, 91, held a drunken intruder at gunpoint until help arrived
LAKE WORTH, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a 91-year-old South Florida man jumped out of bed naked and held an intruder at gunpoint until deputies arrived. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said Robert E. Thompson woke up Saturday morning after a would-be burglar climbed his backyard fence and was met by his charging dog, Rettt, a Rottweiler and Doberman pinscher mix. Thompson heard the commotion, grabbed his .38-caliber revolver and phoned police without ever getting dressed.

Deputies said Thompson fired a warning shot as 26-year-old Jose Pasqual started to come toward him. Thompson kept his gun trained on Pasqual until deputies arrived.

Pasqual was booked in the Palm Beach County Jail on a burglary charge and did not immediately have an attorney.

Looks like Jose did not do a very good job in casing out his victims house. LOL.
:celebrate Give em hell, Robert E. Thompson :celebrate:celebrate

This gentleman was on a local radio show the other day. He was in good spirits and laughing about the whole naked thing.

One can only hope that he wont get slapped with a "discharging a firearm in the city limits" or a similar charge.

KUDOS.
