Gilbert told police that a man used pepper spray to force his way into her home last night. After she shot at him he fled…and remains at large. It’s not known if he was wounded.

then new info

The woman who shot at an intruder in her Jefferson County home last night, allegedly had a lot of pot in her house.

Jefferson County Deputies say they found “several pounds of marijuana packaged for distribution” in Judith Gilbert’s home.

So what we may have here is a drug deal gone wrong...

While it was nice that she used a gun to defend herself and her stash it looks like she should have turned herself in also.

Like Mike always sez....sometimes the good guys are bad.

1. The moral of the story is...

...don't bring pepper spray to a gunfight.

2. What should she have turned herself in for?

3. it should not be illegal to have pot, it should be taxed and sold to anyone of majority age.

4. Precisely. It would have eliminated the gun use and the break-in.

5. Yea, but they still steal cigaretts to avoid the taxes

Then put false tax stamps on them for resale.

6. that is an inherent problem with laws, the more that are written, the more there are to break.
