A “Mr. Tough Guy” Florida thief got “his butt whipped” by a 66-year-old man whose truck he tried to break into, authorities said.
The truck owner called 911 early Thursday morning after he heard 29-year-old Blake Robinson attempting to break into his truck outside his Brevard County home, authorities said.
The older man went outside to confront Robinson, who punched him in the head before throwing him to the ground and kicking him in the head, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office said on social media.
But the victim quickly sprang to action, hitting Robinson and forcing him to the ground — where cops ultimately found him.
“Deputies arrived on scene and were able to quickly detain Robinson, who was seemingly having a tough time getting up off of the ground, after getting his butt whipped by a 66-year-old man!!” Sheriff Wayne Ivey wrote on Facebook.
Robinson was taken to the hospital for treatment before being released to the police. The victim only required brief medical treatment and was not seriously injured.
Robinson was charged with felony battery of a person over the age of 65 and attempted burglary of a conveyance. He was booked at the Brevard County Jail on a $30,000 bond.
“As for Robinson, he was fortunate enough to be in Brevard County where he won a few prizes for being stupid including a chauffeured ride to a local medical facility to check his injuries before arriving at his less than luxurious accommodations at ‘Ivey’s Iron Bar Lodge!!’” Ivey wrote in the post.
“At the lodge he was given a freshly washed 2 piece ensemble to get comfortable in, before being shown to his sleeping area in our open floor plan.”
Robinson “got an enhanced charge for hitting someone over the age of 65 who ended up whooping his punk butt!!” the sheriff added.
“We hope you enjoy your stay at our lodge and as we like to say here in Brevard County, ‘Mess Around and Find Out!!’”
