If You Try To Burglarize A House With A 95-Year-Old Woman Living In It

Try to avoid this lady.

“There was busted glass where they had busted out. She had blood on her. There was glass in her hair.”

Bartlesville police say 46-year-old Robert Horsley smashed the glass on the disabled woman’s door and reached through, but she fought back.

“He was pretty chewed up and one knuckle was almost gone”, said Bartlesville police officer Tom Holland.

After an hour-and-a-half of the woman fighting back, officers say the man passed out and that was her chance to call 911. “What do you tell your friends in county jail, where did you get those wounds? I don’t know that he’s going to tell them he got them from a 95-year-old lady confined to a wheel chair.”

Police suspect it will be a long time before anyone trespasses on her property and neighbors like Gerri call her a hero. “She’s very sweet. She doesn’t want to go to the nursing home and she’s doing a pretty good job protecting herself.”
