When an agitated burglary suspect was jumping from roof to roof for several hours in La Puente, California, an elderly grandfather took matters into his own hands and threw the suspect off the roof, officials said.

Eighty-three-year-old Wilford Burgess, who is known in his community as “Mr. B,” ended the hourslong standoff on Tuesday, Sept. 12, around 11 a.m. When his granddaughter Ashley Wrenn spotted her grandfather on the roof, her younger sister started to capture it on her phone.
