Saturday morning feel good stories
From Castaic, California;
Johnny Velasquez, a Northridge resident, pleaded no contest – treated as a guilty plea – to vandalism over $400 in damage and a misdemeanor charge for trespassing by entry or occupying.
In return for the no contest plea, prosecutors agreed to drop the original charge of first degree burglary with a person present.
Velasquez pleaded on May 23, 2018 and will receive his sentence May 23, 2019, exactly a year later.
Around 2 a.m. on June 26, 2017, a woman noticed Velasquez trying to force entry into her home on the 36000 block of Ridge Route Road. Once he forced his way inside, the woman fled her house and then called 911 to report the break in, sheriff’s officials said at the time.
But after making the call, she saw Velasquez leave her home.
Thinking she was safe, the woman returned to the house and barricaded the front door. Velasquez then broke into the home a second time using a rear entrance, according to officials.
This time around, however, the woman armed herself with a handgun. After a short confrontation with Velasquez, the homeowner fired her gun, hitting him in the chest.
From Alberta, Canada;
Long story short … the cop busts out his taser to take down the guy. Meanwhile, his female friend tries to make a clean escape by running into the stockroom and climbing through the ceiling — y’know, ‘Mission: Impossible’ style. She almost made it. Almost.
This entire caper was captured by the store’s surveillance cameras. Thank God.

Reference the Canada clip: I love it when a plan comes together. Hilarious.
I wonder if Miss Mission Impossible yelled “canon ball” before she dropped through the celling.
That cop had that skinny little bastard on the floor 3 times and he still go up and ran? Why didn’t the numb nuts cop cuff him?
Comedy gold. Thanks Jonn!
Somebody needs to set that video to Yakety Sax.
I don’t know who biggy is that jumped in to help the officer but he deserves a good belly rub for his efforts.
Typical CA. Charge them, plead it down to nothing, slap them on the wrist, sentence them to time served, turn them loose.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
They were trying to use stolen credit cards. Funny when the female fell from the ceiling!
Dumb and Dumber went to rip off a convenience store and didn’t get nuffin’ but shocks and bruises.
That’s a giggle all by itself.
Bringing a snack bag to a Taser fight….sigh. The meth is strong in this one. It’s notable that once again, ‘nonlethal’ does not always mean incapacitating.A textbook Taser shot, not even a shirt in the way, and the guy kept going.
He dropped and did the kickin chicken but as soon as the cycle completed he was back in action. Probably should have zapped him again.
