Through prayer, milk and a banana, a 73-year-old Lafayette grandmother soothed a robber to sleep, according to Lafayette police.

The elderly woman did not recognize Juan Garcia Vasquez on the night he allegedly broke into her home intending to steal money or jewelry, although investigators later learned that he had done some landscaping once at her home and admitted to "returning to the house on a couple of other occasions,'' Lafayette Police Detective Paul Zill said today.

Vasquez first tried to enter the woman's home through a window around 1 a.m. Saturday but the glass broke, which woke up the woman, according to Zill.

"She then did something she probably shouldn't have, and that is when something bizarre is going on in the middle of the night, don't open the front door,'' Zill said.

As soon as she did, Vasquez grabbed her and put a cloth over her mouth to muffle her screams, according to authorities.
