Ira Roberts of Oak Hill said he fired a shot into the ground after he and his wife spotted what appeared to be several people trying to break into a small residence attached to their main home Tuesday afternoon, WESH-TV, Orlando, reported.

Which was good, it alerted all my neighbors," Roberts told the TV station. One of those neighbors was Beverly Rose, a former professional boxer, who sprang into action and tackled one of the fleeing suspects, Justin Goodrich, 23. "I did make a comment to him, how he liked being caught and tackled by a 44-year-old woman; he just kept shaking his head," Rose said. Two other suspects -- identified as Kayla Selph, 23, of New Smyrna Beach, and Alex Safford, 18, of Oak Hill -- fled in a vehicle but were apprehended by authorities several miles away. A fourth suspect, James Watson, 26, of New Smyrna, was caught with the help of a police dog in nearby woods and a fifth suspect, Joseph Jones, no age or hometown, was arrested in Edgewater Wednesday morning.
