The man above is Joe M. Sotello, 34, from Kingsport, Tennessee and he attempted to rob a 52-year-old woman by pretending to be searching for a lost dog. From KFOR:
The woman began wrestling with Sotello and managed to pull his mask off enough to see that he was a longtime friend of the family, according to a police press release. After seeing what looked like a gun in Sotello’s waistband, the woman grabbed a baseball bat from behind the door and used it in “clearly justifiable self-defense.”
Play ball! CRACK!
