In March, two men were seen on a backyard surveillance camera in St. Petersburg, Fla., attempting a home break-in during the day when no one was home. According to the police report, one of the men assumed a football stance, then ran the length of the yard and rammed the back door. However, the latch held, and the impact sent the man backward, leaving him on the ground, writhing in pain. The collision also triggered an alarm, and the men escaped before police arrived.

Matthew Peverada was arrested in Portland, Maine, in December and charged with attempting to rob Dipietro’s Market. His first attempt, at about 4 p.m., was rebuffed, but he announced that he’d be back at 11 p.m., and that they’d better have some money for him. He returned, and police were waiting.
