toe in black, scaled his back wall and claimed to be a police officer.

Police allege the criminal was hoping to rob Whitlock's home. However,
the Las Vegas homeowner had a different plan in mind.

A steady rush of water isn't exactly a proven defense mechanism. In
Whitlock's case, it worked to prevent the stranger from getting what
he wanted."

Surprised the home owner was not also cited for illegal watering.

He is allowed, just as myself to water at night with a hose. Day time
sprinklers are limited by days and time by season in the desert.

At night - have at it!

The guy just used the wrong tool for the job.

A hickory stick is better than a water hose. Put knots on his head
faster than he can rub 'em off. Break an ankle or so he can't dance
trying to rub the knots off his head.
