14-year-old captures escapee at sword-point
Hat tip: DrudgeJoshua Cary heard a noise in the basement, grabbed a sword from his big brotherâs collection and went downstairs to investigate. The 14-year-old didnât mince words. "Iâm going to give you until the count of three to come out, or Iâm going to stab you," he yelled Thursday, according to his mother, Rebecca Cary. Soon, a handcuffed man emerged, saying, "I didnât do it." Joshua led the man upstairs at sword-point. His mother ran outside and found police searching for an escaped prisoner. The man, Mark A. Brown, who had broken free after he was picked up on a parole violation, was taken back into custody. Joshuaâs brother is a soldier stationed at Fort Riley, Kan., awaiting deployment to Iraq. Rebecca Cary said the swords are for decoration, but noted that her older son had told Joshua he "needed to take care of his mom and sister. And he did." Cary said she was proud of her son, who went out afterward for a celebratory night of bowling in this east-central Missouri town. "Heâs always been fearless," Cary said. "I hope he grows out of that soon." Posted by: Dar 2004-01-30 |
