Floridians Are Heavily Armed

The bad guys haven't gotten that memo. One man shot by homeowner, arrested following February break-in

This incident happened in February, but the bad guy was in the hospital for some time before being arrested recently. This occurred in greater Tallahassee, Florida.

On February 6, [Scott] Scruggs allegedly broke in to a home in the 5400 block of Touraine Drive.

Detectives found Scruggs with a gunshot wound, according to LCSO.

Detectives determined Scruggs entered the home uninvited and refused to leave after several requests from the homeowner.

If a homeowner who is armed with a gun asks you to leave, you should probably leave. This guy didn't leave. The homeowner shot him.

Cops showed up and had him taken to a local hospital.

The article linked above doesn't specify the charges, but those were listed a F*c*book post from the Leon County Sheriff's Office.

Following a thorough investigation, Leon County Sheriff’s Office deputies have identified and arrested 42-year-old Scott Scruggs on charges of Burglary of a Structure While Armed and Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon.

Scruggs is now in the county lockup.

Hat tip to Blaze Media: Armed male enters Florida home, won't leave — then threatens homeowner while advancing toward him. But victim also is armed.
