Default Blind Wrestler Pins Intruder

My daughter sent me this link:

http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dl...WS02/804210409

"A blind homeowner used the wrestling skills he learned more than 30 years ago to overpower an intruder and hold the man at knifepoint until police arrived this morning."

"Kieta, 49, who is legally blind, said he was the Kentucky high school wrestling champ for the 145-pound division in 1976. He used his skills and other self-defense tactics learned from his father to subdue the intruder.

'I had him pinned in the laundry room and just kept pummeling,' Kieta said, describing the pounding he gave the 25-year-old arrested by police.

Kieta punched, kicked and grappled until the suspect became disoriented. Kieta said he grabbed him by the belt and dragged him into the kitchen. Kieta then found a kitchen knife and held it at the man's throat."

That guy is going to have a tough time being "tough" behind bars once they find out how he got there....... beat up by an old blind guy..... that will go over really well in jail.

Here's a link to the broadcast:

I particularly liked that the intruder spent a day in the hospital before being locked up, and that he offered to help the blind man dial 911 if he wouldn't kill him.
