Myner Santiago Martinez, 22, chose the wrong house to burgle, police say. Investigators allege Martinez broke into a house, but was confronted by the occupant, off-duty Anaheim, Calif., police officer Luis Gasca. Gasca thought Martinez had a gun, so he shot at the intruder. The suspect ran outside and fell into a cactus plant. After pulling himself out of that, he tried to jump a fence — but slipped and fell on it, impaling his groin on the wrought iron. “It wasn’t a good night” for the burglar, an investigator said. Martinez was arrested at a nearby hospital. (AP) ...The bad news: most burglars aren’t convicted. The good news: this guy’s already been nicely punished.
