[MDLS] -Â A beauty queen has told how she shot and killed a burglar as he wrestled with her fiance during a break-in in the middle of the night. Police are investigating the death of Albert Hill at 3am in an incident at the Florida mansion which Meghan Brown shares with fiance Bobby Planthaber Jr. The 2009 Miss Tierra Verde had opened the door to him on March 12 in the early hours thinking he was a friend needing a bed for the night.
But she claims the 25-year-old, 18-stone man grabbed her from behind and covered her nose and mouth with his hand, before heading straight to the bedroom. As she screamed, her boyfriend emerged, later telling the St Petersburg Times: ‘My number one objective is to get this guy off my fiancee.’ Detectives said the intruder then ordered him to give him money.
The fight between the two men broke the dining room table and chairs but, as they tussled, Miss Brown produced her pink gun from her bedside table.
‘I had my gun drawn, focused in on him; as he moved, my gun moved. I waited for my shot, and when I saw an opening, I fired,’ she told the newspaper.
She said she was ‘glad’ it had been her, because not everybody else would have been as prepared as she was: ‘The way I see it is, the guy was a really bad guy and if it wasn’t my bullets, it probably would have been the police officer’s bullets.
‘It’s not like he was going to turn his life around.’
The St Petersburg Times says police records show Mr Hill had been in and out of prison since 1986 for burglary, grand theft, selling cocaine and other offences.
He had last been arrested in Pinellas County in February for ‘disorderly intoxication’.
However, his girlfriend, Arielle Hope, told the paper after the shooting that he was changing his life.
The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office reportedly said the incident is still under investigation.
