A Florida man was beaten after trying to break into a truck, causing him to go to the hospital for injuries he suffered when he “took a beating” from a 66-year-old man, according to deputies.
The Brevard County Sheriff's Office said the 66-year-old man called 911 early Thursday morning to report a noise outside his home. The man went outside to see what was happening and found Blake Robinson, 29, trying to break into his truck, authorities said.
The 66-year-old man went back inside to grab his phone and report the incident to authorities, but was unable to locate him. When he returned outside to confront Robinson, he was allegedly attacked and the suspect punched the victim in the head, threw him to the ground and kicked him in the head.
The older man managed to fight back and punched the suspect, causing the younger intruder to fall backwards so he could escape and contact police.

“As for Robinson, he was lucky enough to be in Brevard County, where he won a few awards for being stupid, including a chauffeured ride to a local medical facility to have his injuries checked out before arriving at his less-than-luxurious accommodations at 'Ivey's Iron Bar Lodge!'” Sheriff Wayne Ivey wrote on Facebook. “At the lodge he was given a freshly laundered two-piece outfit to make him comfortable, before being taken to his sleeping area in our open floor plan.”

The suspect “was given a major charge for punching someone over 65 who ended up screaming his punk ass!!!” the sheriff said.
Ivey added, “We hope you enjoy your stay at our lodge and, as we like to say here in Brevard County, 'Try and find out!'”
