Tulsa, Okla. —

An elderly woman wakes up to a man in her house early Saturday morning.

Tulsa police tells KRMG it happened around 3:50 a.m., in a neighborhood near 32nd and Memorial.

The 90-year-old women heard a noise and exited her room to investigate.  Police said the suspect saw her and pulled a gun.

This didn't discourage the victim, as she yelled at the suspect.  TPD said the man must have been spooked by the lady, as he grabbed a bag containing jewelry and other personal items and exited through the backdoor.

The suspect is listed as a white male, 18-20, skinny and he was wearing a tan jacket, tan pants and a ball cap.  Police said he entered the house by throwing a brick threw a window in the backdoor.
