I heard about this earlier....



LAKE WORTH, Fla. — Authorities said a naked 91-year-old man was able to hold a drunken intruder at gunpoint until deputies arrived. Robert E. Thompson jumped out of bed early Saturday when his dog starting growling and attacking the intruder. Thompson heard the commotion, grabbed his .38-caliber revolver and phoned police without ever getting dressed.

He said he got his revolver and went out back to let the guy know how he felt about home invaders. Deputies said Thompson fired a warning shot as 26-year-old Jose Pasqual started to come toward him. Thompson kept his gun trained on Pasqual until deputies arrived.

Thompson, a World War II veteran, said he didn't even notice he was standing outside in the dark without any clothes on.

Authorities arrived to find a drunk intruder being held outside by a naked homeowner.

The 26-year-old intruder was booked in the Palm Beach County Jail on a burglary charge and did not immediately have an attorney.

There isn't much else that can be added to this story, is there?

Let's hear it for the over 80 crowd !!

The 3 things I got out of this heart warming story:

1. Man's best friend alerted the home owner, and attacked the b.g. ! Yay for the dog!
2. He had his .38 special within easy reach, and provided excellent back up for the dog, while phoning the police.
3. He fired a warning shot to stop the threat.....and did !! (I hope he fired into the ground and not into the air)

Never mind that he was in his birthday suit, as he was in his backyard. That just added some spice to the story.

I wonder what the police were thinking when they arrived on scene?....
