"...Brian Whitlock was using a garden hose to water his lawn on
Tuesday night around 11 p.m. That's when a man, dressed from head to
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."
