Dorothy Baker, Baytown mom, puts well-deserved beating on armed robber

Parents, you're going to like this one:

Dorothy Baker, a mom from Baytown, TX, had just left a CVS pharmacy and gotten into her minivan with her 2-year old and 5-year old sons when 53-year old Ismael Martinez crawled out from the third row seat of the van brandishing a knife. Martinez told Dorothy he needed money, specifically he needed $200, but Dorothy told him she didn't have $200 in her account, more like $20. Martinez (who by the way did TDC time in 1976 for rape) told her that she better figure out a way to get him $200 or he would hurt her kids. That was a mistake.

Martinez told Dorothy where to drive and at one point she ignored his directions and made a different turn, so Martinez moved forward into the passenger seat. Martinez then realized Dorothy had dialed 911 on her cell phone. Dorothy grabbed Martinez' knife from him and punched him in the face, and told him to get the hell out of her vehicle.

Martinez left and as he was running away it occurred to Dorothy that he would probably do the same to someone else. She chased him with her van intending to bump him and knock him down as he was running, but she inadvertently ran him over. Martinez was taken to Memorial Hermann via life flight where his condition is listed as stable.

Dorothy Baker from Baytown: well played, you are awesome.
