RALEIGH, NC (WTVD) -- A Raleigh woman turned the tables on an alleged burglar when he broke into her home earlier this month.

According to court documents, Victoria Alexis Jones was in her Dorthea Dr. residence January 13 with her two small children when 40-year-old Lucio Miranda allegedly broke in.

Police said Jones sprang into action.

"The victim hit the suspect with a wooden bedpost until he was outside the home," explained Raleigh Police Department spokesperson Jim Sughrue.

Miranda was still on scene when police arrived to arrest him. A booking photo showed him with his right eye swollen shut from the beating.

Miranda was charged with first-degree burglary and possession of stolen goods.

He was treated at WakeMed for a head injury and a broken ankle.
