Get a load of this:

… Two men had approached Jennifer Long’s boyfriend and his son Friday night as they stood outside the apartments she helps manage, according to a police report. The strangers asked for pot, and then a cigarette, and as the son went to get one, both men pulled guns, police said.

One stayed with the boyfriend as the other forced the son back into the apartment, police said. Inside were Jennifer Long, a cousin, Stevie, Mary and two other children, police said.

They were forced on the floor. The robber pointed the gun at (5-year-old) Mary and a 1-year-old girl named Sierra, said Stevie’s uncle, Bernie Evans, 33, who lives above the Longs.

Enter Stevie.

“During the robbery, a … boy snuck into his bedroom, dressed himself in a Power Ranger costume and armed himself with a plastic sword,” police said. “The child then exited his room and approached the armed suspect, in an attempt to protect his family.”

Relatives said the robber abandoned plans to take Stevie’s mother to an ATM to withdraw cash when he saw Stevie.

“It tripped him out, and that’s when they moved on,” said Evans, who did not witness the incident. Jennifer Long declined to comment, saying her employers at the apartment complex would not allow it.

That pot (or whatever the thieves were on) must be one nasty substance, if you’ve got a gun and you get “tripped out” by a plastic-sword–wielding four-year-old in a Power Ranger suit.
