Cops: Burglar Chased By Pit Bull Dies After Window Jump

Detectives Believe Man Was On Drugs During Burglary


SUMMERFIELD, Fla. -- Marion County deputies said a man died after jumping out of the window of a home he had broken into and severely cutting himself.

Detectives said they believe Laird Butler was in the middle of a weekend drug binge when he broke into his neighbor's mobile home on Southeast 143rd Lane on Sunday.

Deputies said they believe Butler was chased by a pit bull in the home, prompting him to jump out a window and injure himself.

Deputies said Butler, 41, was found several blocks away and pronounced dead at Villages Regional Hospital Sunday afternoon.

[lob1]

3. At least no one's blaming the pit bull.

[Possumpoint]

5. You Mean

no one is calling for the banning of pit bulls because of this involvement?

[lob1]

6. Exactly.

[old mark]

2. He obviously made poor career choices...at 41, I have no doubt he

has been doing this for many years.

4. I think the moral of the story is-

if you are gonna break into a home, pick the one without put bulls.

[flvegan]

13. Windows have locking jaws and are impervious to pain.

Impervious to pane? Whatever.

[surrealAmerican]

17. If the pane had been impervious ...

... he could not have jumped out the window, injuring himself.

There's a moral in there somewhere.
