MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — A Medford woman who caught a burglar in her home says he was begging her to call police after the beating she gave him.
Kathlene Brown says she found the man in her bedroom when she returned from work early Sunday.
"I pushed the door open, and I saw some bald guy," Brown said. "I punched him in the face. He didn't have no hair so I was grabbing him by the ears and knocked him in the head with my knee."
The Mail Tribune reports the fight continued into the hall with kicking, choking and biting.
"I bit him so hard my teeth still hurt," she told the newspaper.
When police arrived the subdued intruder was in Brown's living room, bleeding from his nose and mouth.
The 23-year-old man was jailed on burglary and other charges. Police found Brown's TV and stereo equipment outside her bedroom window.

Surely no jury in the land would find her guilty. Here in the Southland we'd say "He needed beatin'!"

He'd have no legal cause of action because the foreseeable result of breaking and entry (getting beat) would be included in "known risk."

That said, here's the funny part to me - he could be (probably will be as it's southern oregon) charged with felony breaking and entering because there was a person in the house; kidnapping; assault (you don't have to win to get an assault charge); assault in the commission of a felony, and for wanton destruction because of the mess he made getting his adz kicked. In short, not only did he get beat by an old lady, but now he's going to prison for at least 20 years because of it. And, I think Oregon does have 3 strikes law, he'll be put away forever..... all because he broke into the house of, and was beat by a little old lady.... wonder whose girlfriend he will be in prison?

Futhermore, the homeowner could assert a complete defense of privilege because she's allowed to use whatever force is needed to repel an uninvited guest.

Probably be the girl friend of the first guy that knocks his front teeth out for convenience.

If I was going to break into a house it wouldn't be in Medford Oregon, I think everyone there owns an assault rifle. He's lucky he's not full of holes.
