A pair of crooks picked the wrong Milford home to break into. They weren't attacked by the family dog or confronted by the police. Instead, they were confronted by a 13-year old boy.
Josh Cichy came home Friday night to two men trying to rob his house. That's when the teen went straight for his spotlight, an airsoft pistol and his shotgun to scare them away.
Cichy says he first shined the spotlight in their eyes then fired a warning shot. The thieves took off running.
Fox 2's Simon Shaykhet spoke with the teen about how he defended his home. Click on the video player to the left to watch his story.
Good man!
Raising children in Michigan is child abuse.
Cool!
Sounds like a Marine in the making.
“Keep the change, ya filthy animal.”
You’ve done well Josh...and so have your parents!
Expect a DA to charge the parents with neglect. Gonna happen.
it’s a good thing his parents had prepared him for something like this.........they could have come home to find him dead.
he looks like a great kid, his parents must be proud.
Good for you Josh! And also for some very wise parents.
Mi. ping!
Hey, I’m going to give you to the count of ten, to get your ugly face out of my property, before I pump your guts full of lead! 1, 2, 10!
We lived in Milford, Michigan for 30 years and raised 3 children there. Many kids in the area hunt with parents and are gun knowledgeable including safety concerns.
I’m sure Hole Alone influenced him as well!!! Good job, Josh!
If you would like to be added or dropped from the Michigan ping list, please freepmail me.
Hey! Watch it!
