Woman arrested after smashing windows of Pasadena home with pickaxe, terrifying grandmother and baby
CBS Los Angeles ^ | October 26, 2022 | CBSLA Staff

A woman was arrested Tuesday after a Pasadena family was subjected to a disturbing display of destruction as a woman smashed their windows with a pickaxe.

Beverly Baker, 65, was arrested and charged with vandalism. Police said she was having a mental health crisis at the time of the incident. She is expected to be arraigned Wednesday.

"We got targeted. This is not normal," said homeowner Arman Tchoukadarian.

Tchoukadarian and his family had just moved into their dream house a few months ago but their sense of security has already vanished following this terrifying attack that resembles a scene from a horror movie.

On Monday, Tchoukadarian said he got a notification from his security system that something was happening at his house while he was at work.

"All I see is a woman trying to bash our door in," he said.

Inside the house was his mother-in-law and his newborn baby girl. Tchoukadarian said his mother-in-law immediately grabbed the baby as a lady with a massive pickaxe smashed the windows, one of which was directly above the newborn's bassinet.

The glass shards from these giant windows were twice her size," said Tchoukadarian. "If she was five seconds late, our daughter would no longer be with us."

Any legal or 2A experts here who could advise how “Castle Doctrine/Stand your Ground” would apply in this situation?

California may be an outlier, but what about other states?

In a Castle Doctrine state, you are not obligated to retreat from your own property.

Did you feel that you were in imminent danger of death or severe bodily injury? Were you in fear that another person was in imminent danger of death or severe bodily injury?

Then you would most likely be justified in using deadly force to protect yourself or others from imminent danger of death or severe bodily injury, unless and until the threat went away. (You draw and point your weapon, and the perpetrator drops the pickaxe in response, for example.)

When someone is using an ax to break into your home, you should be free to kill them.

Mental health crisis? BS, no bleeping way. If she was simply a head case she would have smashed up her own house. Did she live nearby? The house she smacked was new. I’m going with jealous snippy bitzh of the hood mad ‘cause somebody blocked her view. And Oh, BTW, she needs to be sooed for the damages and scariness for whatever she’s worth——not to mention butt stroked into some sanity. This kind of nuttiness needs corporal punishment. Hey! Sis! over here. Don’t bleeping do it again.

-—in the house? Off hand I’d say an axe handle sticking thru your window would be “in the house.” It would at my house anyway. We’ll clean up the paperwork later.

Pickaxe? Nope.
It’s actually a “cutter mattock”, which combines both axe and adze blades.

Jan & Dean tried to warn us about those little old ladies from Pasadena. There's nobody meaner.
