The Daytona Beach News-Journal<\/a>\u00a0posted a story today about a 64-year-old grandmother who stopped a car thief in his tracks. Karen Granville stated that she was up late because her cat woke her up. She was watching\u00a0the Bravo channel when she heard a police helicopter hovering over her house. She saw the suspect, Roderick Willis, run into her backyard and attempt to climb over her fence. The quick-thinking lady grabbed her .38 Special revolver and followed him.<\/p>\n

The article quotes her statement:<\/p>\n

“My adrenaline was just flowing at 100 mph,” she said. “I just said, ‘Stop right there (expletive), or you’re going to be dead where you stand.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Granville held the man at gunpoint until police arrived.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is my kind of grandmother!<\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

This is the second time in less than two weeks older city residents have armed themselves to stop would-be criminals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Charles Robbins, 82, shot and killed 24-year-old Tyler Orshoski after the man apparently tried to break into his home Jan. 11.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police Chief Mike Chitwood said he doesn’t encourage vigilante justice but said people have the right to protect themselves or their property.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part of the problem might be found in another part of the article:<\/p>\n

Willis was charged with fleeing and eluding law enforcement, driving with a suspended license, use of a vehicle to commit a felony, possession of marijuana, possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute. He was booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail on Tuesday and released after posting $7,500 bail.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Willis, who could not reached by phone Tuesday night, spent time in jail last year for fleeing officers, court records show.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Volusia County sheriff’s officials say the Dodge Charger belonged to Hertz Rental Car Co. and was turned over to the company. Willis was not charged with vehicle theft.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One does wonder why he was not charged with vehicle theft and why the bail was so low. No wonder the citizens are arming themselves.<\/p>\n
