Florida Homeowner Uses Martial Arts to Fight Off Burglar

Sheriff's deputies in Lee County, Florida are saying that Josue Ortiz picked the wrong house to rob, something he already knew since the homeowner beat him with Ortiz with Jiu-Jitsu skills.

Brian Burch said he was just protecting his home, "I was holding him down. Once I had him, he wasn't going anywhere."

Ortiz had entered the home through the open garage, Burch found him carrying a jackhammer case and an airgun case. "He told me that the boss sent him over here to pick up tools to finish a job."

The homeowner questioned the would-be thief and Ortiz tried to run. That's when Burch got him on the ground and a neighbor called the police.

Ortiz ended up with a broken nose and burglary and grand theft charges.
