Constitutional Law

A clever self-defender meet a dumb crook

Story here. Tampa store owner Agustin De Jesus is sleeping in his shop when he sees that a guy has broken in, is rifling his cash register, and has left his truck idling outside.

So he jumps into the guy's truck and races away, depriving him of a getaway vehicle. He calls police. So does the burglar, to complain that someone stole his truck. And upon de Jesus returning to the scene, the burglar denounces him as the one who stole his truck, and is of course immediately arrested.
