Avis Johnson, 74, said she was sleeping soundly when she was awoken by a man digging through her dresser drawers. Johnson said when she awoke, she made eye contact with the man, who was wearing a bandana over his face and had “a crazed look in his eye.”

As if simply breaking into the poor woman's house wasn't enough, the little thug had to prove how vicious he was:

“I sat up on the side of the bed and thought I was having a nightmare,” Johnson said. “I realized I wasn’t having a nightmare after he hit me three times and I felt blood running down my face. I looked at him and said, ’Get the hell out of here.’”

The suspect then ran out of her bedroom, and Johnson said she barricaded herself with a phone in one hand and her “trusty lantern” in the other.

“I didn’t know what else to do,” she said.

These feral thugs came in through a locked door, and were later caught at a loud party.
