A woman, home alone, got up around 4 a.m. to put her dogs in an outdoor kennel. She went back inside and went to the basement to start the woodstove. When she went to the main floor of the house, she found a man with a knife standing in her kitchen.

Lock your doors, folks.
The suspect then allegedly started waving a knife at the woman, saying, “Come here.” At that point, she grabbed the phone and called 911, Nelson said.

The suspect came at her again, waving the knife and demanding that she come to him. She told law enforcement she dropped the phone and ran upstairs . As the suspect tried to run after her, he fell down the basement stairs, went back to the main floor of the house and ran out. The woman saw him run between her garage and driveway.

“She said the door was locked all night until she opened it to let the dogs out,” Nelson said.

Don't comply with the bad guys. If you are in your home, you are already effectively in the secondary crime scene. There is nothing, except you, to stop the thug from doing whatever he wants.

This woman broke the thug's script, and he ran away. Good for her.
