Armed neighbor saves woman's
life from violent intruder

FLORIDA -- A Cape Coral woman suffered critical injuries when a stranger broke into her
house as she slept, molested her and then beat her unconscious, police said.
The 2:50 a.m. beating continued outside the
woman’s house until a neighbor threatened to kill the attacker at gunpoint,
Cape Coral police Lt. Bill Rivers said.
Rolando Mota, 20, of 1130 Patterson Road, was
arrested early Saturday morning on charges of burglary with a person present,
battery and sexual battery using force, Cape Coral authorities said.
Police said the woman did not know Mota but
that he lived in her neighborhood.
Investigators confirmed Mota’s identity after
finding his wallet in the victim’s bedroom, a report said.
He is being held in the Lee County Jail without
bail.
The 45-year-old victim is being treated at Lee
Memorial Hospital.
“He ruthlessly beat her, and he wouldn’t
stop,” Rivers said. “That neighbor saved her life.”
Mota is accused of breaking into the woman’s
house in the middle-class neighborhood that borders North Fort Myers.
The victim was asleep in bed when she woke up
to find Mota standing in her room, Rivers said.
“He began beating her right there,” Rivers
said.
The victim’s screams for help, that someone
was raping her, woke several neighbors who called 911 as she tried to escape.
Mota, who was only wearing shorts, is accused
of fondling the woman during the beating. The victim struggled against the
attack so hard, officers said they found the bed knocked off its frame and blood
smearing the sheets and blankets.
The victim crawled out of her house still
screaming.
Paramedics arrived to find the victim naked in
her yard, unconscious. Another neighbor had covered her with a blanket, Rivers
said.
Officers found Mota hiding in a nearby house
and witnesses confirmed he was the suspect, Rivers said.
Mota fought arrest, saying, “I ain’t got
nothing,” a report said. Officers are still seeking a motive for the beating.
Mota has refused to speak to investigators. KeepAndBearArms.com Note: Had the neighbor with
the gun not been armed, would this woman still be alive? And would the
violent punk be in jail? Probably not. While the anti-rights people tell
us we should get rid of guns or "get them out of your home," they are
telling us to strip ourselves of our abilities to help our neighbors, and there
is nothing honorable about that. NOTICE: In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.
