Tulsa Homeowner Hogties Attempted Burglar
"He's like a superhero," said Denay Houston. She said she is awfully proud of her husband and how this would-be burglar ended up. "I got adrenaline running through me like nobody's business right now, and being nine months pregnant doesn't help any," Houston said. It all started when the Houstons heard the glass break outside their daughter's bedroom around 6 o'clock Wednesday morning. "That folding chair was in her bedroom, shattered glass all over the place, and I said, 'A raccoon didn't do that.' And he was just like, 'Oh God,'" Houston said. They heard rustling inside the garage and Houston's husband went to the front door. "And then he waited for him to come out and then he bum-rushed him," she said. He did more than just bum-rush him--her husband tied Robert Cole's hands and feet behind his back; hogtied him. "I was like, 'That's my man!' I was really proud of him," Houston said. As soon as Cole was tied up, Houston said her husband turned to her and said he had to leave, had to go work. So, he called police and let his wife watch over his catch. "That's just the type of person he is, you know? That's just the type of person he is. Business is business. 'I got to take care of business, he's safe, the police are coming, I got to go,'" Houston said. Houston said her husband was never into rodeo or anything, but he does work with horses and knows his way around a rope. Robert Cole faces one charge of first degree burglary. Police at the scene say he appeared to be on drugs. He is being held at the Tulsa County jail in lieu of $32,079 bond. Posted by: Steve White 2013-07-05 |
