Advisory: Suspected burglary gets caught by homeowner while attempting to break in home in Jurupa Valley.
A 63-year-old victim called to report that her 70-year-old husband went outside to check on their residence after hearing what they believed to be someone breaking into their home in Jurupa Valley. The 70-year-old husband armed himself with his legally owned firearm and went outside to investigate. He found a suspect who was armed with a crowbar, trying to break inside their home. The 70-year-old victim held the burglar at gunpoint until deputies arrived. Deputies arrived within four minutes and arrested 34-year-old Jose Rodriguez of San Bernardino, for burglary, possession of burglary tools, and an outstanding arrest warrant. Rodriguez was booked at the Robert Presley Detention Center.

It's only a misdemeanor here.

Guess Rodriguez didn't know if he just let go of his crowbar, got up, and walked away....the old guy couldn't legally shoot him.

Of course, maybe the old guy might've shot him anyway.
