Burglar Gets a Beauty School Beatdown

That's right, sic him, girls!

A Louisiana man who was beaten with curling irons, a table leg and blow dryers when he allegedly tried to rob a Shreveport beauty school appeared in court Jan. 11, according to local KTBS 3 News.

Just as Jared Gipson lost his struggle against the women in Blaylock's Beauty College last June, Gipson lost in court as Caddo Distinct Court Judge Scott Crichton found him guilty of armed robbery.

During his beautiful defeat, Gipson had held a gun to one person's head and ordered everyone in the school to lie down — and was stuffing money in a bag when a student tripped him and others dove on him, beating him with their tools of beautification, prosecutors said.

Gipson, 25, later told cops he was attacked by "an angry mob of women" and the beating left him with 21 cuts in need of stitches.

Prosecutors played a 911 tape Jan. 11 with a woman at Blaylock's whispering to an operator about the attempted robbery for the judge before the verdict was issued.

On the tape, a man barks orders at people before there is a sudden silence — then chaos ensues.

"They're fighting, they're fighting, they're fighting!" the woman tells the operator — then says, "They got him! We actually whooped him! Is that OK?"

"Yes, ma'am, that's fine if that's what y'all want to do. Are y'all OK?" the operator replies.

Gipson's sentencing is set for this week.
